Hi all, I'm having problems with VuePro (Version 267266 on MacOSX). VP keeps crashing while I try to apply an imagemap to a light gel. It's a .bmp... Can I use other image formats as well, since the manual doesn't say anything about the formats that can be used. Thanks, Phil P.S. I don't have the most current version of VP installed, because it doesn't support my Wacom anymore. :(

I'm on PC. There I have no problem to load any bitmap. First I have loaded an existing gel, then double-clicked the small gel icon. this opens the gel editor where I have loaded a bmp. Is this what you did Phil?

Then Walther may need to try it, as he is on a Mac too.

Yes, Guitta. That's exactly what I did. I made the map in Photshop and saved it as a BMP as seen in my second post. Maybe Walther can reproduce this problem himself. ;) Thanks, Phil

I had no problems loading one of Kromekats light gels and that was a .JPG file (I'm on PC) Gill

Well, sorry to say Phil, no problems here. I think i said it once (or twice). 95% of the bugs sits... I defined a gel to a spot light. Then i edited the gel and attached first a jpg - no problem. Then a bmp - a brick texture. No problem as well. Then i switched to object space, then i made the texture (gel) scaling smaller. All without a problem. Maybe you send me the bmp you created so that i can test it here. I think you have my email address. see you, Walther

Maybe you could try to open the bmp file under MacOS (with photoshop or equivalent) and save it again in case it is coming from a PC with specific settings.

Believe it or not. When I tried the map again yesterday evening it worked without crashing VuePro! Strange things happen sometimes. ;) Anyway, many thanks for your help!!! Phil

95% of the bugs sit where Phil? Good that it worked finally! I am really looking forward...
