PSD is a photoshop document, when you save it it holds all of the frames/layers and stores them. The file is bigger because it isnt compressed.
Photoshop has strong ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation, and authoring. Files in Photoshop's native format, .PSD, can be exported to and from Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere ---, After Effects, and Adobe Encore DVD to make ----- standard DVDs and provide non-linear editing and special effects services, such as backgrounds, textures, and so on, for television, film, and the Web. For example, Photoshop CS broadly supports making menus and buttons for DVDs. For .PSD files exported as a menu or button, it only needs to have layers, nested in layer sets with a cuing format, and Adobe Encore DVD reads them as buttons or menus. Photoshop can utilize the color models RGB, lab, CMYK, grayscale, binary bitmap, and duotone. Photoshop has the ability to read and write raster and vector image formats such as: .EPS, .PNG, .GIF, .JPEG, Fireworks, etc. It also has several native file formats: * The .PSD (Photoshop Document) format stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, Clipping paths, and duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g. .EPS or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality. Photoshop's popularity means that the .PSD format is widely used, and it is supported to some extent by most competing software. * The .PSB (Photoshop Big) format is a newer version of .PSD designed for files over 2 gigabytes. * The .PDD (PhotoDeluxe Document) format is a version of .PSD that only supports the features found in the discontinued PhotoDeluxe software. wikipedia ftw
<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">Basically what all this means is that the .psd format is Photoshop's official "project" file. PSD to Photoshop is like .doc is to Word. A C4D render is a image made in the 3D program "<acronym title='C4D for short'>Cinema 4D</acronym>" which people use to get nice effects in Photoshop. This is a pack of C4D renders. This is a pack of "effect renders". The main difference between effect renders and normal C4D renders is they way the are made and the overall look of the renders. In the past year or so people have stopped really using normal C4D renders as much as they use to because effect renders kinda took over lol. It's to the point now that effect renders are now known as just C4D renders. Their are also "<acronym title='wireframes'>wireframe renders</acronym>" that people started using a few months ago. This is my wireframe pack. Wireframes are basically just normal C4D renders or effect renders that just have the wireframe showing. (Normal C4D's usually look better than effect renders as wireframes.) Cinema 4D is for more than just abstract pieces though. The special effects for "Spider-Man 3" and the entire movie "Open Season" was done in Cinema 4D.</span>
o another question why are c4d on black backgound's are u meant to cut them out and them use them on ur render or wat?
Put them as a layer in your sig and change the layer setting...screen and linear dodge being common settings for C4Ds
<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">Like .:JCoca:. said, change the blending mode to Linear Dodge or Screen or somthing like that. Personally I don't put the black background on effect renders that I make cuz it gives you more options on how you can use it. Example: If you put a black background under it in Photoshop you can't even tell the difference from anyone else's effect renders.</span>
ya thats wht i though they wer just put on a black background to show ppl wat they look, but i was saprized to see they were not.. o well thks for the quick response...
