Hi All,
I’ve just installed goZ with PS5 extended and am trying to figure out how to set the image resolution in photoshop.
It transfers fine but my resolution is way to low.

To elucidate a little more.
I set up a test plane. Apply a new texture to it :
test resolutions : 512, 1024, 2048 and 8192
Goz to PS and draw on the model at 1 pixel , 5 pixels, 10 pixels.
return PS to Zbrush
Save the texture.
Loading the texture into PS and looking at the resolution gives the following:-
Texture size : measure line size for 1, 5 and 10 pixel draw
512 : 1 : 4 : 8
1024 : 2 -3 : 8 : 15
2048 : 5 : 16 : 30
8192 : 20 : 60 : 110
measurements are a little fuzzy at the edges due to fade.
In essence, it doesn’t matter what size texture I use as it scales the pixels accordingly.
It seems to be a 1:1 ratio around 640 *640 texture.
How can I draw on a 4096 * 4096 texture where 1 pixel paint brush size = 1 pixel on my texture?
Hope that explains it better.

Am I the only one with this issue? or just doing something stupid.
Maybe its a PS setting that I’m missing.
I believe the resolution in Photoshop is dependant on the zbrush document size. This is probably why the Zapplink plug-in resides in the document menu palette. Reset that and then clear your canvas and redraw your mesh before zapplinking to photoshop.
cheers but its not the zaplink but goZ.
I did try resizing the canvas though but no real effect.
However it does seem to be just a matter of 3d zooming within PS and then its based on the texture size.

Sorry El-d, I have a bad habit sometimes of reading posts too quickly. I jumped to the conclusion you were talking about zapplink.
If no one answers your question, I’d suggest doing an advanced search using any combination of the words: Photoshop, resolution, GoZ, and start by searching by users: Aurick and Marcus. I know there is an excellent post that Aurick put together about matching resolution/document size match up, etc. I just can’t find the link at the moment, but it may well be a “sticky”.
