Adobe Photoshop CS5
DeckLink includes Adobe Photoshop
®
plug-ins, so you can directly capture and output still frames from
within the Photoshop application itself.
If you’re working with 10 bit HD/SD-SDI, you can even import and export 16 bit Photoshop images for
full quality. Use DeckLink keying to export and key graphics from the video input using Photoshop alpha
channels.
Import an image into Photoshop
1. From Photoshop select
File > Import > Blackmagic Image Capture
2. Select the “Video Input Format” and the “Image Bit Depth” and then click Capture Image.
Export an image from Photoshop
1. Select
File > Export > Blackmagic Image Export
2. Select Video Output Format and then Output Image.
Note: Once you have set the options in the “Export” window, each subsequent Export will not display
the window so you can output frames much faster. However, if you would like to change your export
formats, hold the
Ctrl key when selecting export.
