Hi Alex,

Try using Grab to capture your screen if you didn't already. Not cmd- shift-3 or cmd-shift-4.

I guess it has something to do with the gamut correction on your display card that's taken into account when you use cmd-shift-3 or 4. Maybe it is the vcgt tab in your display's colorsync profile. Not sure however.

Paul.

Anyone?
This is really bugging me...

Subject: Capturing the EXACT output of a CIFilter Patch

Is there any way to capture the EXACT output of a CIFilter patch to a file? I've managed to solve the the heightmap issue I mentioned at the end of my last post, but now I'm trying to capture the heightmap image to a file, so I can use this static image in place of the CIFilter, saving some cycles.

I've tried placing the output of the CIFilter on a billboard, , then taking a full-screen screenshot of it. The resulting png file looks identical to the billboard in QC, but is clearly different, as when I plug it in to the GL Height Field plugin, instead of getting a nice sphere as I do when the CIFilter is plugged in, I get one that is flattened in a few places. I imagine this is some kind of colorspace and/or color correction issue.

Is there any way of preventing this happening, and capturing exactly the output of the filter?

I have Photoshop, so I can potentially save out the image in a variety of different file-formats, is this helps in any way.

Cheers,

alx
