    Workflow between Photoshop 4 and CP5

    adob1948 Community Member

      I made in PS4 a image with 8 layers, each layer represents a dot on a map.

      After importing into CP5 I animated the layer.

      I want now to make minor changes in PS4 to adjust the elements of the animation, lets say change the color.

      Is there a workflow that I might open with PS the layers I have already animated in CP5?

      And then continue the work in CP5
      Is that a feature with PS5 or is there a way with PS4 and CP5?

       

      When I select in CP5 a layer, I see the Linkage/path to the image and a button Aktualisation, but both are greyed.

      So there might be a way to actualise the modified layer content layer by layer?

          Hello,

           

          There is a difference between CP4 and CP5. In both cases the layers are imported and converted to PNG-graphics, but in CP4 you can only edit layer per layer whereas in CP5 (if you have the eLearning suite 2) you can edit the source file. But in both cases the changes will be reflected immediately. I just tried your workflow with CP5 and Ps4 and I was able to edit a layer that had an effect applied to it (hope it is that what you mean by animating?). The changes were immediately reflected in the Library and on the stage. I did change the color (applied a Black/White filter) and erased part of the image and that worked well. I do have both eLearning suite 1 (with Ps4) and 2 installed, but CP5 and Ps4 are not in the same suite of course.

           

          Of course you are using German version, but still I'm puzzled by your 'Linkage path and a button Actualise'. This is what I'm seeing in the Library:

          The green button means that there is synchronisation between the original PS-file and Captivate. Are we talking about the same versions?
