Known Issues in 1-21-07 Beta
- When exporting image texture maps, the DAZ Studio scene is inconsistently updated. When the scene is updated correctly, the preview image in Photoshop may be updated without additional user input.
- There are some issues with Photoshop CS2 which places dialogs and error messages behind the DAZ Studio window. If this happens, you will need to resize the DAZ Studio window in order to view the dialogs.
- Mouse over on Bridge dialog may vanish, will reappear after multiple attempts.
- Auto Update on Mac may cause Photoshop to stop responding until it is turned off. Closing Studio scene will automatically turn off auto update.
- Random imports of preview image and importing of texture maps will open blank documents. Second attempt corrects the issue.
- The 3D Bridge does not automatically start on the Mac and must be started manually in DAZ Studio.
