First, I will answer to Gillbrooks' first question..Loading PSD in Vue Pro... In fact, I've lost all my hair trying to save or load a PSD file... I reinstall Vue several time, and don't saw any PSD choice in dropdown menu... But there was the PSD.Eon file, so I thought that it should work... But one day, I didn't care about it anymore... And some time ago, I magically saw that I can save PSD files:) I don't know how it is possible, it is magic:) (the picture prove that is is true)... Finally I always save Vue pics as PSD, it is more convenient... In my experience, I never saw a software that doesn't crash or don't have bugs... With 3ds max, sometime, it is like vue pro, it shuts down. I'm saving a scene, and... it shuts down. I'm moving a point, and... it shutsdown! Sometimes, I think it just want to make a joke. Vue Pro act in a same way. It works fine and sometime it wants to make a joke and it close the scene. Illustrator is sometime very hard to bear too. Sometime you pixelize something, it works fine, and another time you pixelize the same thing in the same condition and it doesn't work... there is artefacts on the pixelized pics, or another good things... Sometimes it crash too, often when the deadline comes;) It seems that pro soft act like that... They have their good points, and sometimes there are unbearable. I generally reach to do what I want, it takes me some times, but I do. With Vue Pro, I'm able to use it normally, and it crash sometimes, but not as often as it seems to occured with some (a lot of;) ) users... I don't think it is the antipiracy system that makes Vue crash... I prefer to think that it is all this thread, background draw thread, render preview thread, etc... Thread is not a good thing;)
