DOF (depth of field)

[Brian]

Hey guys,

 

It's been a LONG time since I used DOF. For some reason when I render out my Z-depth layer it looks great in camera (for the split second that it shows up after render) and then when I bring that layer into Photoshop it's just black. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

 

I also tried shutting off alpha for the Z-depth render.

 

Thanks.

Let me go ahead and explain further.....

 

The Z-depth image will open just fine in EI. Looks perfect. When I bring it into Photoshop (CS3) it's just black. I'm using the EI Image plugin for Photoshop (for CS2,3,4).

 

I just don't know why it wont show up in PH.

Ola Brian,

 

Is it a Still or a animation? If its a animation, did you use Rama to render and stitch?

I just did a still frame (.eiz), opened fine in Photoshop CS5.

 

Thanks

I'm uploading the image for you to check out. The eiz looks perfect in EI but when I bring it into PH it looks black. Just not sure what I'd be doing wrong. How can I upload the images to you?
