3d painting in CS4 ... where is which texture saved ??

Hi
I'll try to explain it:
with a 3d model loaded in ps cs4 i go to the material in question and "load" an existing image as the texture. lets call it "head_texture". so far so good.
now when i "open" that texture, i an see it in 2d . it is still called "head texture". also good.
now when it comes to saving the texture it is getting confusing. Because for some strange reason the loaded texture (head_texture) is NOT the original file (head_texture) anymore, but gets saved in some temp location.
First problem: it is not visible to me as a user which of the now two versions of my "head_texture" i am really painting on.
So here's my question, is there a way of making cs4 use the actually loaded texture file instead of some instance which it seems to be creating?
I couldn't find any setting where I could define it.
Just to add to the confusion, ps4 seems to be behaving differently when a new texture is being created from scratch instead of loading an existing one.
well, head scratching issues... if anyboyd could shed some light to this, i still want to believe i am just missing something basic.
thanks in advance

Hi everybody !!
..I just tried Photoshop CS4 for the first time today! .. I work for 3D texturing model and I was very glad to see these new 3D importing features! ..But .. there is something I don't understand:
When you want to edit layer of diffuse channel you have to double clic on it and this will open a new 2D document ..ok.. so, for exemple, you choose another layer and you come back on your 3D document and you begin to paint... but if on more time you want to choose another layer on the 2D document, nothing happen and the link between two documents (2D and 3D) seems to be broken!
..Anybody know a way to keep that link whatever document you choose to paint in ??
Thanks a lot !!! ;-)

    Look to see where they are stored in iTunes. Most are downloaded and stored in iTunes U under library. Those should be shown in iTunes U which is a part of the iPod app on the iPad. I have had a couple that had bad data in the metadata and were classified as Movies and placed in Movies. I selected those and right clicked (control click if no mouse with right click) on those, selected Get Info, selected Options, and changed Media Kind to itunes U. They were moved to the iTunes U section by iTunes.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • Where are sidebar settings saved?

    I have tried to figure out where the settings you make in the Finder Preferences for the Sidebar is saved. I want to make a script or a profile that will make every device visible in the sidebar. Standard is only external disks and CDs, but I want computer and hard disks to show too.
    I have looked inside com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist and even compared these files before and after the modification i made in the GUI, but nothing changes (except which tab I was in, in the preferences window).
    Does anyone know where these settings are saved so I can use 'defaults', 'PlistBuddy' or a profile to deploy this to our clients?

    Ok, but I will post the answer here, because I found it out myself now. It may help someone...
    Make a profile from com.apple.sidebarlists.plist, download it, change PayloadScope to System and change "forced" to "Set-Once", voila! The last step, changing forced to set-once is the key for making this work!

  • HT4753 I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

    I have a very simple question: how do I view where Lion has autosaved my current version to (without the convoluted route of using finder)? In days gone by i'd simply use the save as function to see where it was being saved.

    It's actually even easier than using Save As to see the full path to the currently open document. Just do a "Secondary click" on the document title in its window's title bar.
    Like you, I relied upon Save As my whole life to check a file's location and considered it a must-have capability. Turns out it's even faster to use the single-click method to reveal the full path to the open document. It displays the entire path to the current document starting from the level of your Mac, and works for files stored on drives as well as iCloud.
    If you're not sure how to do a secondary click, go into System Preferences, select Trackpad, Point & Click to find the current preference for secondary click on your Mac. If you happen to have a mouse with more than one button, it's probably the right button. As a trackpad user, I check the box to "Click or tap with two fingers," so a simple two finger tap on the title of an open document reveals its full path. This feature actually has been around for a very long time.
    Note that this is not the same thing as the Autosave and Versions menu, which is exposed using a little drop down triangle to the right of the title. There is no visual clue for the presence of this feature - you just have to know it's there, probably because this feature goes all the way back to pre-OS X days.

    How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

    What version of Premiere Elements and what computer operating system? You have a few other threads awaiting follow up, and consequently that information
    is not available elsewhere.
    What is your specific export...
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    and Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or something like that.
    Specific please.
    But what specifically are you entering in the Save In: field of the dialog that includes the Save button to initiate the export process.
    Are you saving it as a file to the Desktop or to a specific folder on the Desktop? Have you given the export a distinctive file name?
    The screenshot shows the Save In: to the Desktop as a file.
    I have no idea of your background with the program, so I ask these questions so as to take nothing for granted.
    If the computer Desktop is crowded, as mine often is, it is easy to have difficulty spotting a file save to the Desktop.
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thank you.

  • Where is the data saved in the srtucture for a particular tcode

    Where is the data saved in the srtucture for a particular tcode.
    For eg in MM01 there is a field with RMMG1
    where dioes the data get saved from this field as in backend it shows the stucture and the structure can hold data only at runtime,
    Please help me
    Thanks in advance
    chinnu

    Hi,
    The strcuture : RMMG1 holds data at run time only that to it can hold only one record at a time.
    so we use this structure to hold data at run time and then we insert those values into database tables for that program.
    Here you can the values stored and processed in the program in the tables : MARA (for matnr ,mbrsh,mtart..),MARC (for Plant ),MARD( for storage location : lgort )...etc.
    so if you want to fecth some data means first you have to choose right table to fetch information by passing values in the selection screen.

  • Where are the files saved in?

    Hello.
    This might look a silly question for you, but it's not for me, since I started using JNLP a couple hours ago.
    Well. I usually would give the users a JAR file or use a setup to put it in a specific folder.
    In my program, I have a database that's supposed to be the core of the app, and cannot be deleted or de-cached at any circumstance.
    So.. I would like to know where the files are saved (heard something about the "documents and settings" folder) so I can later do a backup.
    Furthermore, I would like to know if and how I can save the JAR in a specific folder and if I can include another type of resources to download other than .jar and native libraries (maybe some txt?)
    Thanks.

    They are saved somewhere like this:
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javaws\http\
    But it seems strange the you want to know where they are. I worry that you might be going about something the wrong way.

  • Where are my photos saved, how to archive photos

    Hello,
    currently I had imported photos from a camera to my MAC by using iPhoto import and event functionality. Now I would like to backup my photos by using rsync. But I can not find my photos as files on the disk.
    Where are my photos saved?
    I am a new MAC user with some expirience in Unix qnd Linux.
    Thank you in advance
    Bernhard

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
