ohh ok, cheers mate 🙂

I just thought I would ask as I would hate to make HD only themes (that I have been doing) and not have an answer for someone with SD lol 😛

@ rog26us

 

Okay open up border.dds in photoshop. On the right hand side there is a tab called channels (next to layers) click it. You will see the channels for the border.dds so click on the "Alpha 1" channel. Now you should see a white background with a black rectangle. This black rectangle is what you need to edit to adjust how the clip plays through your image.

So when the alpha channel is 100% black nothing will show through and when it is 100% white everything shows through. If the alpha channel is 100% gray only 50% shows through (screen effect).

Like I say check the net of how to feather a shape or play around with brushes etc. I won't go through all that because it will take too long to explain for a simple task.

I want you create themes for all to see but I don't want to do it for you after all it is your theme.

Sorry man I don't own an SDTV so I can't test how it looks Frown. You can try editing the camera position check on page 4 of these comments of how to do that. Doesn't seem like I can be very helpful today lol.

I got it now. Thanks a whole lot. Just makes me mad that it was something so simple. I will refine my window a little and then I will upload a couple of themes to the site. THANKS a whole lot again for your trouble.

Glowball : a wee question if I may 😛

I have a 64bit Machine and Photoshop 64bit.
When I try to import video in to files, I get a message saying the 64bit version can't do that and I need to use the 32bit version (or x86.. whatever its called)

I have the 32bit on my other machine but was wondering, to save me, saving files and moving them across etc, is there a way to work it with 64bit?

Many Thanks

toxic

@ Glowball :
It's cool, drama over mate 🙂

I used the 32bit on my other machine to import the video and convert to the multiple .psd then just stuck it on a usb stick and put it on my 64bit machine.... all works fine mate 🙂

Thanks for getting back to me though 🙂

M8 when you install photoshop it has 2 boxes one x64 and the other x32 you probaly didn't tick the x32 i ticked both so i can choose which one to use i sugest uninstalling and install both if you need CS5 extended let me know as i have it and can send you it.

@ RADZ

Thank for the info mate 🙂 I don't remember any boxes to tick to be honest so, I think you are right, I just installed 64 on my 64 machine and same with 32 lol

I'll un/re install... CS5 Extended cost me a bloody fortune but, I have the DVD here so should be able to do it real quick 🙂

Thanks again bro 🙂

@ Jukez17

 

Try moving just your jpg files to a new folder then batch that folder to dds then you won't get an error. Then either copy my files to that folder or the dds files to my files folder if that make sense and try the raf_compiler.exe again. The dae files are the models for the background so you need them.
