On the closure of the User Forum : An open letter to John Dalton
Hi John I have no idea what you are going through. However the impact you have made not to continue with the user forum and your desire keep it as a permanent feature as promised in the past is a big shock. It also betrays the faith and love we have shown in you and Studio Artist. Bluntly spoken, it sucks. That you have chosen to follow this direction in silence, allowing no compassion or understanding on our part is a betrayal of the deepest level. What is going on? This is not the John…

Hi everyone, I am glad the site is still here! Here is a new short video I made. All made in Studio Artist, several separate videos with alpha channels, then combined in layers with the music in Blender. A lot of MSG running through brushes, with several of the brush Path Starts being controlled by the MSG Scan Generator in the Generator part of the Path Start in the Paint Synthesizer. Also some MSG running through a brush, then making a video of that with an alpha channel, then making that a…

Has anyone else gotten a warning about this site disappearing? An email form just popped up, asking me to contract the owner and leave a message to let them know that they may loose their "network"Did Synthetik forget to pay it's bills, or is something else going on?I think 8 months is more than enough vacation time. Is anyone at Synthetik doing any development work at all?

Both these two SRCs have # Shape parameters.Does anyone here use these two parameters?I'm wondering if there is any way to control the parameters of the shapes themselves. size, angles, location etc.I've made some interesting composition, and would love to know how to make changes like, 'Rotate this shape' or move this shape etc. Thank!

So you could save to your iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder. But that's not going to build iPhoto preview images or synch iPhoto or Aperture to the fact that you saved a new image. So doing it is probably not a good idea. You could save to a folder and then drag that folder to iPhoto if you wanted iPhoto to catalog the images.
There's no specific intelligent synch to iPhoto or Aperture functionality built into v4 at this point. I can look into that if it's something a lot of people would use.
It works forward as I can send an image from iPhoto or Aperture to SA3.5 and SA3.5 receives it fine. However, when I quit SA3.5, which is the proper procedure for returning the modified image; not doing a save from within SA3.5, SA3.5 should return the image to iPhoto or Aperture which ever did the send. SA3.5, does not. It simply ask for a location to save the modified image before shutting down.
I rely on Aperture and iPhoto as my photo library maintainers, mostly Aperture. I do not want to maintain an Aperture Library and a SA library as I have to at present. It is cumbersome to maintain both and a waste of HD space. When I want to export the SA image to printer, web, my iPod, I do that from within the Apple structure as I have total control of the output. Every extra step that I have to do as you are suggesting is not necessary from my thinking.
So I would dearly like you to delve into X-Code and see where the pointers lie so that if SA4 receives from an external program, then it will simply ignore its own defaults and return the modified image. I do it now and have been doing it since Tiger with Photoshop and every other external editor I have plugged into iPhoto and Aperture. It is also how all the external plugin editors work with Aperture. A copy is sent out to the external and then the modified is returned. It makes organizing the finals so much simpler.
Thanks John for considering this important request.
Are you thinking that you want the image to import as a new canvas? Or as a source with a blank canvas?
If I place the canvas as my source image just before I hit CMD-Q then that would send the edited image back to the calling program. In a PASeq that would be an easy standard to do as a last line. Then it would not matter if the incoming image was on a canvas. It would be placed in the source, as it works now with SA3.5 and then it is up to me do with it what I want. I would just have to remember to replace the source with my final canvas before the exit.
And I got thinking that how could this request be implemented from iMovie or Final Cut. I have only just started playing SA3.5 and movie files and I think that both iMovie and FC allow for adding external editors. It would be a tricky thing to allow but I wonder how it could be done. I can see that I would not be allowed to open a stream from SA, but if I was working on the source file could that then be done. Probably only work on very small video files as I see that a large file needs to have in and out streams.
