I'm sure I COULD have it tested in P4 by my beta testers. That's not what I mean however... Suppose so-and-so emails me and says "the bump map doesn't look the same as in your promos, how can I get that look in P4!" What am I supposed to say? or some other question about setting up the product in P4? With out the software I can;t experiment to get the best advantage or to answer such questions, and that isn;t the Beta tester's job, thier job is to test the work I do to see that it works as advertised.

I test and check and make setting adjustments to my own texture maps and bump maps. I don't think using a photoshop action to change the colors and then change the extension without the ability to test it in the target software and make needed adjustments is fair to the customers.

First off, here's the action so there's no question about how:

Second off, save the greenscale file as a BUM and load it into the AlternateBump node in P5+ and just test it.

Third, save the same thing as a JPEG, refer to it in the CR2, and have a P4 tester test it.

I'm the asshole. You wanna be a shit? You gotta go through ME.
