Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I've just tried an absolute address by making Sven's first line tv_StackExecute "/Users/jf/Library/tvp animation 11 pro/default/george/Color2Gray.bin" But I still get the "There is no FX in Stack !" message on clicking my button. Ditto when creating my .bin file on my desktop and...

My path is /Users/jf/Library/tvp animation 11 pro/default/george/Color2Gray.bin. There are no .bin files in that folder, other than the Color2Gray which I put there by exporting to there. (I'm aware that on my computer there is also /Users/jf/tvp animation 11 pro, but that does not have a george fol...

Hi all and thanks for your suggestions. This is where all this is up to 1) What I'm aiming for is a click to see this greyscale values effect FX Stack effect.png My solution for now is to have the FX stack set up for this and to toggle the effect stack on and off - which is not perfect (since the ef...

Many thanks for this... but I haven't quite got it working yet. My lack of knowledge means I'm not quite managing to get the steps right on my mac. What I did was export the .bin file to jf/Library/tvp animation 11 pro/default/george/Color2Gray.bin Notes: 1. After having first made a backup of the '...

Hi I like to view my drawing area now and then as greyscale (to see just the values of what I have created) because that gives important visibility and relative contrast information. Currently I achieve this by Effects > Colour > Black and white convertor, and have red as 76, green as 150 and blue a...

I should have put this in the technical support section. Hopefully someone can move it there...

Hi There has been a similar thread to this years ago https://tvpaint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8639 , but they seemed to be getting the opposite problem to me now, and I'm not sure how - or if - that was resolved then. Keeping things constant in my tests, the screen being used is the same for all of...

Many thanks Sven Much confused thinking on my part - including that unticking and then re-ticking a custom panel seen in the Custom Panels tab would bring up the latest stored version. (And then even more confused thinking when that did not work...) On losing those buttons after the crash, dragging ...

Updated action for now. (I'm assuming the following will work!...) Reading around it seems that File > Quit of TVPaint after exporting the custom panel and saving the TVPaint file, may cause the panel changes to be kept, so that even if a crash happens later on my brush-creation efforts and updated ...

I have spent most of today modifying and saving brushes. Each new brush is placed into a Custom panel which I export (without changing its name) and then I save TVPaint - again without changing the file name. I have had two TVPaint crashes and each time on bringing TVPaint up again it has reverted t...

Thanks deruji - that is really useful. (Those tablet settings are so unintuitive - I would never have guessed.) I now have both tablet boxes unticked, and each Wacom pen can now be set to a different TVPaint brush. (Note to those who have two pens of the same variety - e.g. two Pro 2 pens - all this...

In the past, with a Cintiq 16" tablet (the newish, non-pro, lower resolution one) and previous versions of TVPaint (all on a Mac), each physical Wacom pen (e.g. a grip pen and a Pro 2 pen) when picked up and applied to the tablet would revert to the TVPaint brush that was last used with that pa...

Thanks Sven Works nicely. I may be going over the top now, but I've placed the buttons from both of your versions into the old panel, so I can swap between or bring back two places. (Obviously, the old set does not give the location information.) I renamed slightly, so it is still just two rows of i...

Hi Sven This is brilliant. (I'm currently going through 'Contents Sharing' and picking up loads of useful information - yours is the latest gem I've come across.) These buttons of yours solves what has been a bit of an issue for me, that I haven't been aware of being able to solve in any other simpl...

Hi
Could you write (or show) a bit more?
I'm interested in getting this working for me.
Thanks
John
