    Ok...

    I already asked for a refund, since I can't get it to work but I am still waiting for it... Meanwhile, I will give it a try on my (old) laptop, which is setup about the same as this one, to see if I get different result.

    We're working on additional The Gimp videos as we speak.

    Hi,

    I'm thinking of getting the LDP-R and the Mastery tutorial for it. On the product page at DAZ it says bonus module coming soon for GIMP for the Mastery product.

    Does anyone know if that's been added yet?

    Thanks!

    New question: how do I go about combining the lights from light dome pro and studio light pro?

    I have bought today LDP-R and tried to use it, but I've Problems with this item. I've attached a Screen of my DS 4.6.3.52, 64-Bit on Windows 7, 64-Bit. I missed the Option RenderLDP-R under Registercard: Render in DS and I also missed LDP-R Camera after loading LDP-R. Where can I find these functions? Did I have to install the Photoshop Bridge for this too?
    I hope, somebody can help me. Thank you.
    Greetings Conny

    Did you install it your self or the dim tool

    it sometimes does not work if you do it your self so you have to use the dim tool

    I install it with the dim-Tool and also manually. If I try to render, it Comes this window, but LDP-R is loaded and seen in the Content Library. Please take a look at attached screens.
    My DS main program is under partition C:, my content folder is under partition E:

    I was going to attempt to help, but then I noticed your version is completely different from mine. Is this the one you bought? http://www.daz3d.com/dreamlight/light-dome-pro-r

    If so, where did the Add LDP-R Objects folder and Rain option come from? Mine doesn't have those, and there isn't an update in DIM.

    Mine does, however, load the camera properly. Perhaps wherever your extra options came from somehow borked your other LDP-R files.

    /edit
    I think I've figured it out. It appears they're bonus things from LDP-R Mastery.

    Did you actually load LDP-R into your scene? You do not have the options and the cam if they are not loaded.
    In the screenshot with the LDP-R icones, look at the left one, it is named "Load LDP-R". Right-click thic one and select "Merge into scene". Then LDP-R is loaded into your scene and you can use and render it.

    She did. It looks like she did. Post #486. Everything else was loaded, but for some reason the camera wasn't.

    Connie: You don't need the bridge installed as it doesn't render directly to Photoshop, but to a specified folder you choose at render time.
    If you'd like the render option in your menus, right click on that Render LDP-R icon and choose Create Custom Action.

    Oh, sorry, I did not see that.
    I installed LDP-R via DIM and everything works as it should.

    What version of DAZ Studio are you running? Maybe you need to update? Also the bit depth has to match. There is DAZ Studio in a 32bit and a 64bit version. LDP-R is also available in 32bit and 64bit. Be sure to have both in the same version.

    Did you try to uninstall LDP-R and re-install it?

    Hello together, thank's for all the answers, but sorry, they didn't help.
    I use DAZ Studio 4.6.3.52, 64-Bit on Windows 7, 64-Bit. I've only installed the 64-Bit verions of both (DS and LDP-R). And the re-install of LDP-R doesn't change anything.
    At first, I loaded Genesis 2 Female, after this I loaded Streets of Med. and at last I loaded LDP-R (Button, rightclick - Merge to the Scene)
    And the icopn "Rain" is from Light Dome PRO-R Mastery. The DIM installed the whole Content on the correct Location (the Content at Partition e: and the recommended - if not, I could not see the icon's in the left Panel of my DAZ Studio, or? It seams to work, so I could loaded LDP-R in my Scene.

    Check log file for line 'Loaded file: Add LDP-R.duf' (just scroll up a little from what's in your screenshot) and see if there is any warning or note about the camera not loading, the LDP-R.duf is what loads the stuff into your scene, while the LDP-R.dse message only in log is your attempt to use render script.

    If there is no error or warning and loading LDP-R.duf seems to be okay from log, you could right click on 'Add LDP-R' icon and browse to file location, and open 'Add LDP-R.duf' with a text editor (Windows notepad or something), then run a search for 'LDP-R Camera' to see if it's included (should come up with lines for id, name, type, label, etc). If it's missing somethings wrong with your files.

    You could also try uninstalling LDP-R AND Mastering LDP-R , then only re-install LDP-R to do some tests. As for me (and others here) LDP-R works, maybe the 'Mastering...' comes with some wrong file and overwrites the working one (the file list from wiki looks okay, but who knows what is in the download) ;).

    Thank you all for your help. Now the LDP-R system works perfect.

    Will this be updated to work with Photoshop CC? I note that the manual says it does, but if I point DIM to my CC version, it asks me to use a different and lower Photoshop version.

    I don't know, if I understand it correct. But I use Photoshop CC 2014 and all works perfect. I load the Actions to my Photoshop CC 2014 under Presets and load the render layers of LDP-R, click to LDP-R Combine and the Play button - all works and I got the different layers. But I have all installed manually and not with DIM.

    Just point another, lower PS version in DIM to the same PS CC install, usually that does the trick (if it is compatible at all), at least it does for my PS Elements 12. Take care that LDP-R needs an english language version of PS to work correctly (else the layer names are different, so it breaks the combine script).

    The problem is when you start the combine script it does not process some layers when they had german names (Hintergrund instead of Background etc), at least with my PSE12. Can't see from your screenshot how these are named in your CC2014 as they are scrolled out of the window, but at least the 'Sun Kopie' shows german name too. It was only 2 layers that couldn't be processed for me, but I don't remember if it stopped the script or finished and only threw out error message. I reinstalled PSE with english version and everything was fine (PSE allows to choose from some languages during install, while afaik PS is - or was - limited to one language only, though there once was a workaround to switch to English too, not sure it's still needed).

    The problem with other language PS versions is mentioned in the LDP-R manual too, so I cannot say why yours works if there are no error messages indeed.

    @Cris: Just saw that CC is listed as compatible and tested in the manual, which means it is indeed only DIM which doesn't know about that fact. Workaround from above should solve your problem, though support might add CC compatibility to DIM installer for that product some day.

    Just purchased Light Dome pro-R

    Q1. 2 old addons for earlier Light Dome 2 exist

    LDP skypack - out of this world & ultimate skies 2
    I assume these will work in the latest version?

    Q2. Pro Pack III - 4 in 1 Bundle - has 2 scenes on main image
    What props or from which package do the towers in the upper image come from?

    Q3. When will training for Studio Light Pro be available on DAZ ?

    Q4. How can I get Reality 2 for DAZ Studio to do the renders rather than Light Dome
    A new version coming soon will have a common licence for Poser & Studio
    I believe the results would be better from Reality - correct ?

    It seams to work for me without any error Messages. All layers (included the 4 empty layers for the preview lights) are combined with Dreamlights Action. I can Show you again the whole layers. But perhaps I didn't understand something not correct? Or is this not correct working, I thought it would?

    Custom 1 to 4 are not preview lights. They are for your own lights!

    You can add your own lights to a scene using LDP-R. Then you parent them to the custom lights 1 to 4 in your scne tab. And after rendering they appear on the Custom 1 to 4 layers in Photoshop.

    No, everythings seems fine there, as your german PS version seems to use english layer names like 'background'. Maybe it's only PSE that handles this different. Don't know why, but okay ;)

    BTW, I ask because I keep getting an Error 521 when accessing the info server at:

    You stop using the LDP-R camera/script for the rendering and start using Reality.

    Since I was directed here.....

    I’m having trouble with the Out Of This World pack for Light Dome Pro 2.
    I’m using Daz Studio 3.1 Advanced 64 bit on a PC.

    LDP works fine but the additional options for Out Of This World (Poison, Magma, etc) do not appear. I’ve made sure the file from the zip file are in the proper path although I can’t tell where the .exe files were installed or if they’re the same files as the zip.

    Any help would be appreciated.
