How to mask entire row or chunk?
« on: January 17, 2014, 08:08:39 PM »
I am currently using a turntable setup with 5 cameras, and the only way i've been able to successfully mask my photos using a blank background frame is to pick each photo individually, and select the mask for each photo.  This is incredibly tedious and time consuming, now I know there is an option for "entire chunk" when importing masks, however when i select this option and go to the mask view in the photo pane I don't see that any masks have been created.  Any input would be appreciated!

Not sure how I got the Image resolution mismatch error, since i shot the blank background shots right after the rotation with the person in the frame, same cameras, same settings.

It appears my problem was in the settings of the mask import

By default the mask name section is filled out {filename}_Mask.png
I changed this section to say {filename}.jpg and problem is fixed!

I know that probably seems obvious, but I am very new to the program!  Thanks for your help
