Photoshop: What is going on with this Tif?
Friday, January 20, 2012 at 10:09AM So, I'm going along my day at BLADE doing some graphics work for Toyota when I come across an interesting Photoshop issue:
I have these 3D vehicles that do a kind of turntable animation. Along with these files is a multi-colored matte file that combines the car alpha and the shadow matte in one. Something like this:
Car beauty pass:
Car matte:
Normal so far. But when I take a look at the tif sequence in Photoshop, nothing. No layers, no channels, no layer comps. A blank file it seems.
BUT WAIT!
Drop it in After Effects or Nuke and Voila! It is all there. So what am I missing? Where's the artwork hiding in this file?
Please check it out and let me know what you find.
