Exporting to Photoshop

Which version of photoshop are you using ? In CS5 you may directly import the 3D model !
Don't mean to hijack KathrynG's thread, but what file format do you use to go directly from SU to PS CS5?

That doesn't answer my question.
Interesting image, though.
Kathryn, you used the "Report" function on my question and then answered it with the following:
"No typo - I am on a Mac and the option is there to set the export resolution and which I did to 300 ppi. The unchecking of the the anti-aliasing did work wonders though. I then tried a bit of my compositing again and my added images were definitely 100% better. I am going to post an event that I just did using SketchUp as my base and then adding the other "stuff" just as an FYI. Also - after months and months of searching I have finally found that Miami Dade College is offering some Community Edu classes in SketchUp. I am torn as while I have been looking for live training sometimes trial and error also has its benefits. Any thoughts on this? Thanks"
I deleted the report and paste your remarks so others can see them as well.
I agree with you that trial and error can have benefits but I think formal training--if it is good--can greatly shorten the learning curve. I have no idea of the quality of the instruction in that specific community education class but it probably wouldn't cost that much and might be worth the time. I community education SketchUp classes here and I guess my students are learning. They keep showing up and their work seems to be improving.
Yes - I think I will do it. $90 for 6 hours beginners and $90 for 6 hours intermediate. Even if some of it is things I already know it never hurts to have reinforcement. Sorry about the posting - I usually read other's posts and don't post too much myself so will do better the next time.
Thank you Dave, and hope the event picture (it was a simple event they did not have a very large budget) made sense to you afterwards. -

OK - then it must be a memory thing - I am so registering for those classes - feeling like a total dimwit here. See what I exported and then what Photoshop opened - yikes!

I think it has to be Photoshop Extended for this to work. No wonder this sounded like such a new idea to me.

********************************************************This is where the frustration sets in. I registered for the class (only two offered in the near future) at MDC this Saturday, all excited with note book ready, Wacom tablet dutifully cased (never use a mouse if I can help it,) car (at $4.05 a gallon) gassed up, and this morning I check for the room number and they have cancelled the class due to all the usual suspects - not enough people interested. This is actually the second time this has happened to me with SketchUp. The first being some live training that they advertised on the Google website re SU and which was due to take place here in Miami last year. When I called the number provided to register however, they did not have a clue what I was talking about and had heard of no such training? Sigh...
Another problem that I find here in Miami is that so many of the teachers are second language English speakers and I had to drop an Illustrator class many years ago because I could not understand a word the teacher was saying. (He was supposed to be speaking in English.)
Apparently I am doomed and can only hope that the SketchUp For Dummies (that would be me
) that I ordered from Amazon and the Missing Manual along with whatever tutorials I can find will suffice. I am quite desperate to learn, I love learning, but there is no one to teach! -
Kathryn, have you seen Go 2 School? They have tons of tutorials, free or paid, and offer local workshops as well as one-on-one training over the internet. I learned much of my basic SU knowledge from their YouTube channel

Truthfully - forgot about them. I was already signed up as I had registered for their Illustrator tutorials etc. Seems history is repeating itself re the live learning after my Illustrator class problem, LOL. Actually not funny - taking back the LOL. My SketchUp for Dummies also arrived this morning so hopefully it will work out. One of the reasons that I like the actual live learning though is that I am notoriously impatient when learning something new, and want to know it all now - right this moment. Age has taught me nothing along those lines, so I shall try to yank on the reins and take it step by step and remind myself that even in SketchUp Rome was not built in a day. (No idea where that one came from - must be one of my better, or cornier... days.)
Thank you and not that you are interested, but I might bore you down the road with my progress.

PS - OK - last bit of nonsense for the day and then I won't bother anyone anymore, but just thought... that would be a great slogan for SketchUp -
"Who Said Rome Could Not Be Built In A Day" or "With SketchUp Rome Could Have Been Built In A Day." Sorry, could not resist - over and out. -

Not at all! I enjoy the little stories that make you (or other members, as the case may be) sound less like a screen name, and more like a human...and your little spiel up there made me crack a grin
You could make that quote your signature...just sayin'
