If I?m using those tiled images, and want to create a larger ?canvas? where the canvas ends up being 2x high and 4x wide, the only way I?ve figured out to do it is do Image > xform > window (change the size here) > layer.

I tried bringing those monster textures into the compositing environment thinking there might be some auto-proxy mode. I see I can downsample them, but it still seems deadly slow. Also, doing what I thought was natural by adding transform nodes and lining them up didn?t work, or I was doing it wrong as I only ever could see the ?top? texture, even though I?d see the outline of the transformed file, but no image. I know, rtfm.. and I am, but looking for some wisdom here. > > What would you say is the best workflow for something like this? > > Thanks! > > Gary Jaeger / 650.728.7957 direct / 415.518.1419 mobile > http://corestudio.com <http://corestudio.com/>
