  5. So, most of it worked out great - the only problem I had was when I needed to "smooth" near the end, Adobe Photoshop CC made me choose "Border" and give a border width under "Modify" before I could "Smooth." I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be 20 px as well - but the photo seemed to become too light after having to do this. Any suggestions?

  7. Control the break of any recording inside Movement 5 and look as 3D sections and shards fly by the camera. inMotion3D Smash's movement is programmed and adjustable, so clients essentially need to drag, drop a generator into the course of events, apply their media to the Drop Zone, and look as it breakes.
