With that, we are finished with our post-production edits. If we just grab another copy
of the
Materials_Final.exr
file from the
Projects
panel and place it at the top of the
composition layer stack, turning it off and then back on again gives us a clear view
of where our edits have brought us. The difference is not earth shattering, but more
than enough for us to say that we now have a much more photographic and appeal-
ing final image (make sure to either delete or turn off this layer before moving on to
the final steps).
The very last thing to do then is output our finished image to the desired file format,
which in this instance will be a TIFF file that can be handed off to both printers and
video editors alike. To save that out, let's perform the following steps:
1. Open up the
Composition
menu, and from the
Save Frame As
flyout, select
the
File
option.
2. In the
Save
dialog box that appears, we need to give the file a name and
location; in this instance, we will call it
Gallery_Final
and save it in the
Final_Renders
folder under
Exercise_Files
. All we need to do then is
click on
Save
(don't worry that it is saving as a
.psd
file; we can fix that in a
moment).
What we should get now is a new
Render Queue
panel open up in the timeline area
of the After Effects UI. To make the swap from Photoshop file to
.tiff
format, all
we need to do is perform the following steps:
1. Click on the
Photoshop
label next to the
Output Module
entry.
