Troubleshooting and general tips
- When you update Photoshop to a new version, you get a new script folder, but script files are left behind in the old one. You need to repeat the installation instructions above to make sure PoserFrames.jsx in the new /Applications/Photoshop 202x/Presets/Scripts folder.
- The error message The command Play is not currently available means the Poserframes script file (Poserframes.jsx) isn’t in the correct script folder when Photoshop tries to run Poserframes from an action, droplet or other means of automation. Make sure you’ve followed the installation instructions above. Also, if you have several versions of Photoshop installed, make sure your droplet launches the correct version (the one with Poserframes installed). A workaround is to manually launch the correct version of Photoshop before you run your droplet.
- The speed of the script is primarily dependent on the dimensions of your image. However, the script is written in a modular manner, which means it will run att different speeds depending on your settings. It will be fastest in crop mode with no added matte and slowest in fancy mode with all of halation, rebate grain, burn negative edges, scanner artifacts and film burn turned on.
- Use the settings feather_factor_35mm, feather_factor_645, feather_factor_67_square and feather_factor_45 to control how fuzzy the mask edges and rebate edges appear for each aspect ratio. For most tastes, these settings should be left with their preset values.
- Use the setting blending_factor to controll the “crispness” of the rebate edge. The higher the value, the fuzzier the film rebate and the more it bleeds into the darker areas of your image.
- If you set transparent_matte to
true
, you need to work with TIFF files for them to save with preserved transparency.
