Positioning a layer

quick question. I understand that different layer sizes are not currently available in SA4--how does that affect having a canvas that has layers smaller than its overall size (i.e. two 720x480 layers on a 960x720 canvas)? If I add smaller layers to a larger canvas will everything scale up and stay static or are they able to be moved and positioned?

  • Any new layers you add to the v4 layer stack are going to be the same size. So you can't currently resize and/or reposition the individual layers like you could in 3.5.

    You could use m key selection movement to move selected areas of a layer within that layer.
    • Got it. I've got a workaround for it but I'm hoping that it's only temporary.

      I am coming to this roadblock also. I would like the ability to have layers that have images( geometric shapes) that are smaller than the starting canvas and be able to move them around, reposition them.

      Is this to hard to code into SA v4?

Interdimensional Coincidence Control

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…

Whats going on with this site?

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?

Having difficulty exporting canvas as image

I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks
