clone/move/scale normalmap, diffuse and specular (etc.) at the same time?
So, since the thread about rotating normalmaps is attracting a fair few knowledgeable members, I thought I'd post about this thing I'd been thinking about: Often when I have to make changes to textures when the Normalmap, Spec and Diffuse have all been finished, I curse the fact that I can't clone-stamp multiple layers at… -
Re: clone/move/scale normalmap, diffuse and specular (etc.) at the same time?
I might be mistaken on the details, but I've seen it done, I'll check with my buddy Matt tomorrow. he's done this by copy/pasting the channels of his spec, normal, etc into his diffuse, so he winds up with like a 9 channel image (name your channels), and then activating all the channels (typically you either have a single… -

Best I can think of is to record an action while you work on the diffuse map, and then play that action back on each of the others... -

Ryan: I'm not sure the action-system is that robust. It just records you setting a sampling point, and then, err... nothing. That being said, the channels-workaround sounds workable. it even sounds like there could be a script/action that copied a few specifically named (normal_flat, specular_flat, glow_flat, etc.) into… -

i have always wandered about this, using 9 channels seams like a bit of a headache, but i might give that a go, will watch this -

That isn't what sample all layers does - it samples the collapsed image for cloning onto a single layer...right? -
Re: clone/move/scale normalmap, diffuse and specular (etc.) at the same time?
It would be really nice to have instanced layers. It doesn't seem like it would be that processor or ram intensive either (is it really that hard to have one layer update a duplicate of itself every once in a while?) Forgive my ignorance if this exists already somewhere in Photoshop. -

sample all layers option? -

What has forced to make this change after the maps are done? Are you making changes to the UV's? Would a Render to Texture to a new UV set solve this?
