Hello Kevin,

When you say “brush center” do you mean position (x and y) or anchor point?
I do not see a property called “center’ for a brush.

Thanks for this help.

Hello Guys,

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately I do not have the Trapcode plug in.
I will try the suggestion about using an expression, etc.

Thanks

Hello Jeff,

Thanks. I am used to trashing FCP 7 preferences. Now I know there
are some for Boris as well.

Thanks for the tip.

Hello Keith,

I fully appreciate the difference there. I was merely stating that I would like to know
more about his workflow in terms of the work he produces, not as related to a 35mm scan, etc.

Thanks,

oops!! print size for this is 13.7 inches by 9.2 inches.

at the 4000dpi scan level – this gives me around 333 dpi or so.

I have scanned some slides at 2400dpi and the 13.7 x 9.2 output is about 150dpi,
which, based on viewing distance seems ok. My viewing distance is from 2 feet to 5 feet away from
print.

I know that a famous photog and artist (Robert Wiengarten) makes prints as large as 40×60!
I am trying to find out what dpi is digital images are captured at, and what he prints at.

Thanks,

Hello Lars,

I plan to print the document at about 300 to 330 dpi – and the video stuff will be at 72dpi, destined for
dvd, and since in US – NTSC. I do understand DPI, etc So I suppose even though the
film (35mm) is scanned at a HIGH res (4000 dpi) 300 dpi makes for a larger image!

thanks for asking,

Hello All,

Rather than re-post, I thought that I would ask here before I
post anew.

I have an “inverse” issue. I have scanned 35mm slides at 4000dpi.

I plan to print some of these at around 300 dpi or so.

So, am I enlarging the image, or making the image smaller?? I will guess
that as far as document size I am enlarging, and therefor should use
bicubic smoother for the interpolation. If I set bicubic smoother in the
image size dialog will the setting stay if I use the crop tool? It seems the setting is not maintained if I use the crop tool.

One other question, I am slso using some of the slides for a video.
Which is 72dpi. I use pixel dimensions of 1260×720 – can I assume I should use bicubic smoother for this as well? I have the same question in terms of the crop tool vs. the image size dialog. i.e.

If I set bicubic smoother in the image size dialog, is it saved when I use the crop tool?

Thanks again,

Eric

Hello Mark,

I finally accepted the fact as you have stated above. I redid a couple of droplets, and as you
mentioned, that has things working fine.

Thanks for the help,

Hello Rich,

Thanks, I have your book, and your podcasts have been nearly indispensable
for much of my work! The lower thirds and gradient fade, etc.

Thanks,
