Photoshop wizards, sharing spells

Jun 15, 2008 13:26

We announced MOO's API the other week - which allows people with just a little tech knowledge to create cool apps that integrate with MOO's process. If you don't have the tech knowledge but still fancy making something cool, you could try using Photoshop instead.( More )

congratulations, api, birthannouncement, templates, moo, photoshop

Mosaic worked, but... anonymous June 17 2008, 13:58:42 UTC

... it would be so nice if there was an option to say "don't color correct cards individually". That'd make the puzzle process much easier as well as the cards look better :)

I did spot your comment on Flickr, and it confused me a bit... we apply exactly the same colour profiling information to all the cards - because it takes into account the laminate. So each card will be adjusted in the same way. Theoretically, if all your cards have come from one image, they'll all be adjusted in exactly the same way, so they should all work together.

From the looks of the cards, each card in my box was color corrected with a unique profile for each picture. If you zoom in on the mosaic, you can see this on several of the tiles, but it's most noticeable in the ones with only a few colors in them.

If you send me an email (jenschr (at) gmail), I'll send you the full rez image.

PS: I also noticed that we placed on of the tiles in the lower right corner wrong :)

ah. hmmm. In that case, I shall bring it up with the über-tech people and see what they say. I actually did something similar to this myself with an illustration I've done and it didn't happen there - but then the image is very different. This has really confused me, so I'll ask around and see what they say :)

edit: Actually, looking at Aral's photo again, it doesn't seem to happen there, but what I have just remembered is that Aral didn't take the bleed into account in his document - so you'll be missing the outside 2mm's of the image on each card - it gets cut off. I wonder if the nature of your photo (compared to his) is what's making this more obvious?
