How to become Channel Mixer

Hi everybody
I Have Photoshop Elements 5 and I would like to upgrade it to a later version. Now I need to know if PSE 8 would have Channelmixer, which I need for my work. If not, can I upgrade to a Adobe Version with Channel Mixer ? And how can I do this ?
Thank you for some advice !
Hanny

Can you point me to where the $299 upgrade to CS5 from PSE8 offer is located? When I
go to the Adobe store and specify an upgrade from PSE8 to CS5, the price is $599. $199 for CSx to CS5,
but that does not help me. Did this promotion end, or am I missing something? Do you happen to know how long the offer will be on the table?

How I can create channel mixer by JavaScript?

If you create a channel Mixer script you will most likely be using Action Manager Coder you modify from Adobe Scriptlitener Plug-in. There is a Photoshop scripting forum and scripting documentation you can download. Adobe DOM does not cover all Photoshop function.

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

How to change Image color like Channel mixer

Hello everybody
I have this problem can anyone help me:
I want to change Channel mixer color,
for example, change original Image color to B&W.
My code:
docRef.channels[0].color.rgb.red = 30;
docRef.channels[0].color.rgb.green = 59;
docRef.channels[0].color.rgb.blue = 11;
docRef.channels[1].color.rgb.red = 30;
docRef.channels[1].color.rgb.green = 59;
docRef.channels[1].color.rgb.blue = 11;
docRef.channels[2].color.rgb.red = 30;
docRef.channels[2].color.rgb.green = 59;
docRef.channels[2].color.rgb.blue = 11;
But not working in scripting, seems a mistake.
How should I correct this code? Thank you for your help.

Hi Michael,
I try changed 12 parameters in array of num in my js,
doc.layers[0].mixChannels([[30,59,11,0],[30,59,11,0],[30,59,11,0]],false);
doc.layers[0].mixChannels([[30,59,11,0]],true); ------ this way is better than ↑
doc.layers[0].mixChannels([[60,30,10,0],[30,10,60,0],[10,60,30,0]],false);
doc.layers[0].mixChannels([[39,77,19,0],[35,69,17,0],[27,53,13,0]],false);
They would show new color as I wantted,
I forgot ' When monochrome = true, the maximum number of channel value specifications is 1. '
Thank you for your recommendation.

Compositing - Channel Mixer Help

I've been using AE now for a few years, (since v5.5) and mostly use it for motion graphics. Using CS3 now. But right now, I'm beginning to work through Steve Wright's book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Compositing-Film-Video-Second/dp/024080760X">Digital Compositing for Film and Video</a> to focus more on true compositing.
The author's aim is to keep the lessons application-independent and present concepts in a way that would be applicable to most software packages. (However, considering the author's frequent references to "nodes" and his well-known status as a Shake user & <a href="http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=408">Shake instructor</a>, it's apparent that using Shake, while reading this book, would lead to the least bumps in the road, when attempting to follow along.)
But I'm not using Shake, I'm using AE and have encountered a small bump in the road. Regarding luma keys he mentions how luma values are represented in the individual colors R,G,B. To cut to the chase, he says, "One standard equation that mixes the right proportions of RGB values to create a luminance image on a color monitor is:
Luminance = 0.30R + 0.59G + 0.11B"
Great. But I can't figure exactly how to mix the RGB values with the above proportions in AE. It's quite easy & straight-forward in Photoshop, using the Channel Mixer. <a href="http://www.geocities.com/kevincbrock/channel_mixer.png">Example here</a>. But AE's Channel Mixer does not seem to work quite the same way as it's counterpart in PS. There are values there, for instance, "Red-Red", but they seem to run in values from -200 to 200, not percentages, like PS. So my question is, how do I achieve the same channel mixing results in AE that I can in PS?
I'll add this: I was able to achieve the desired result in AE, but by using a round-a-bout sort of tactic. Instead of using the "Channel Mixer", I applied the "Set Channels" effect to my sample shot. By changing the "Set Red to Source 1's LUMINANCE", then doing the same for Green and Blue, setting them all to LUMINANCE, the resulting image is identical to the sample shot that was tweaked in Photoshop. Again, it worked, but I'd like to know how to change the proportions of RGB to other values than those represented in the formula above.
Hope this all makes sense.
Oh, and while I'm here.....I'll throw this in: In AE, when you apply the "Curves" effect, can you input precise values for input / output. Again, this is simple in Photoshop, but unless I don't have some display items turned on in the Curves editor in AE, I don't see a way to enter precise values. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any input.
EDIT: for some reason, the links I've posted aren't showing up properly. So if your'e interested in following any of them you'll have to copy/paste on your own. Don't know why......

>Great. But I can't figure exactly how to mix the RGB values with the
>above proportions in AE.
You could use expressions... You create sliders for each input, then feed their output to the actual effects. Something like
//----begin expression
linear(value,0,100,-200,200)
//----end expression
should do in most cases. Still, be careful. Not everything written in that book directly applies to AE. It does not figure in any specifics of color management nor different Gammas which could massively skew results because the source footage will already be pre-adjusted and the comp will add another level of adjustments.
>Oh, and while I'm here.....I'll throw this in: In AE, when you apply >the "Curves" effect, can you input precise values for input / output.
Nope. AE's Curve effect will adapt to the project bit depth as a lot of other effects, presenting you with the problem of which values to actually use. This would only make sense if the effect itself would be independent from AE and process in float all the time and only the inputs were presented as different normalized ranges. There was/ should have been an alternative Curves effect from Frischluft, but at this point development has reached a dead stop, so it's doubtful it will ever be unleashed upon the world.

Transpose PS Channel mixer values to LR

I use presets of channel mixer for converting images to gray. The presets I have are based on RGB Values. How can I transpose that to the 8 channels on LR ?
In addition to transposing from 3 to 8 channels, I see that moving 3 channels to 0% make a black photo. When all sliders on LR are moved to -100%, the gray shades of original photo are not modified.
thank you for your help.

You should try it and see the effect I am describing for yourself. Noise reduction is not helpful. When channel mixing is done correctly there is no need for noise reduction. The high-res sliders in Lightroom and ACR, though, do not do channel mixing. They operate on specific hues and can't be used as an equivalent to channel mixing no matter how you move them around.

CS5.5 Channel Mixer Effect

The channel mixer in CS5.5 now has presets like "Ambisonic B format to L R Ls Rs" and "Matrixed Stereo to ITU 5.1." The implication is that AA can turn certain 2-channel files into 5.1 files. Is this correct? I can't figure out how to make this work, and the online manual has nothing about this.
J. D.

This is fun, but not as much fun as you'd like it to be. Let me explain.
There is one caviat we all need to pay attention to: these advanced functions in the Channel Mixer effect are PASSIVE mixing only, and therefore won't correctly decode a matrixed-quad source such as SQ, QS, or Dolby Surround. I have no idea what that means for Ambisonics. But there are some interesting applications for this, to be sure.
Now, having said that, here's what I discovered.
If your source file is stereo, then first you must convert it to 5.1 (or whatever is suitable) using Edit > Convert Sample Type. Pay close attention to the optional dropdowns.
Now you should have a file with two front channels with audio and 4 silent channels. Then select all, open the Channel Mixer, and proceed. The end result should be what you're looking for (unless you need phase-based decoding, which is better done via scripting in AA3).

Add Channel Mixer functionality to LR

Something I often do is shoot IR with my Sigma SD-14 by removing the hot mirror/"dust cover." The resulting images are pink-magenta-yellow.
Doing a monochrome conversion in LR really doesn't work, whether auto or something else. Grainy, noisy, looks like crap.
What works great is using the PS channel mixer with the "red filter" preset. PERFECT and OUTSTANDING dynamic range, optimally low grain.
Because the high-precision color sliders in LR don't work like anything at all like the channel mixer, it's not possible to get the equivalent out of LR. You can't just drop out blue and green by sliding them all the way to the left - you get noisy mush.
I would love, love, love to have the channel mixer.

Channel Mixer Presets

Hello
I'm using PhotoshopCS2 education version on a Windows XP computer. When I open up the channel mixer window, there is no option for channel mixer presets. How can I load presets into Photoshop? Or is this feature only available on later versions?

the Channel Mixer should have a Save and a Load button which you can use to save and load presets

Four channel mix for P2 format?

I'm in the final stages of editing an EPK for an upcoming indie film, but I'm having some problems getting the audio output the way it's supposed to be delivered. The distributor wants the EPK on a master tape with a four channel mix. The problem is getting it to render it out that way.
We shot the EPK on P2 cards (720p), although the finished cut, while predominantly made up of P2 footage, also contains quite a number of production stills, SD footage and clips from the finished film sourced from the final Quicktime render file. Now the producer suddenly decides he wants me to export it as an MXF and put it on a P2 card, which he can then take to his people and have dubbed to HDCAM.
But, even after reading the CS4 manual, which seems to indicate that you can export back to P2 in four channels, I can't get it to work right.
I thought it was because I hadn't set up my sequence timeline for 5.1, so I created a new timeline as a 5.1 output. Then I had trouble porting the clips over to that because of memory issues (big project), so what I decided to do was export the project timeline twice as an MXF sequence. The first time I muted the tracks which had the music and effects on them and exported just the main program. Then I muted the main program audio and unmuted the music and effects and exported again. Then I opened a new project with a sequence that was set up for 5.1. I laid down both exports on the time line, the two video tracks right on top of each other. Then I used Source Channel mappings to route the main program to channels one and two, and the music and effects to channels three and four. I played it on the timeline and saw four channels light up with the mix.
So thinking I had solved the problem, I exported it again as a MXF and examined the output - only to find that the new sequence was only two channels, and only the main program audio. The music and effects were nowhere to be found.
Anybody know how to get this to work? Thanks!

Unfortunately, unless a software CD-4 demodulator exists that can process "modulated" recordings (it might...), you'll need 4-channel hardware capture capability. This is pretty common for musicians and you might find solutions in the music equipment section of Best Buy.
In terms of software - Audacity is amazing and VERY powerful. One thing you might be able to do with Audacity is something like:
Record player -> CD-4 decoder -> 4-channel audio capture card/interface -> 4-track WAV file
then
4-track WAV file -> 4.0 or 5.1 channel AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio -> Dolby Digital capable surround receiver
The latter is actually what I do with recordings from my Zoom H2 - however this has 4-channel mic recording but not 4-channel line-in recording.
It looks like, in order to do software CD-4 demodulation, your recording solution will have to have a VERY high samplerate and a much higher cutoff for its lowpass filter than typical for audio - there are likely to be few off-the-shelf solutions for recording the "un-demodulated" CD-4 inputs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadraphonic_sound#CD-4_.28Compatible_Discrete_4.29_.2F_Quadradisc - In short, I don't think recording to PC and then demodulating is going to be practical.

How does DIADEM import TDMS files? How gets every channel his number and groupindex? How can I determine which channel has which groupindex and number?

I store different channels in a TDMS file.
I like to have a time channel at the first position with group index 1 and number 1.
When I read the TDMS file with DIADEM the time channel (Float64) is on a differernt position, and the channels are not sorted alphabetically.
Here are my questions:
How does DIADEM import TDMS files?
How gets every channel his number and groupindex?
How can I determine which channel has which groupindex and number?
Best regards
Joerg

Hi Jörg,
i suppose that you´re programme whose create the *.tdms file is writing on false position. Try to create datas with timechannel on first indes in diadem, then save it and then open it again. you see that all is correct. So please tell me what programm in what version do you use and please attache it here.
Did you use the library for creating *.tdms files like in the link ?
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6471
Here you find the gtdms_8.x.zip - when you extract it and opened the *.llb you find vi´s for all functions e.g. writing 2d array of strings to *.tdms file
when you open the subvi´s then you see how created and writing datas/structure to *.tdms files. Because *.tdms is binary you can´t see structure with open it in editor.
When you don´t have Labview you can use the 30 days test of current version 8.5 under following link
german version download link
