Kevin, it looks good. Is it just for mac's. I have downloaded it to my sony laptop with PS elements 3 and can't get anything to work? It shows up in elements and has the listing on the right, but can't get lights or anything over to the graph.

Same here. I can't get any folders to expand in PSE 1, 2, or 3.
Great tools, and just what many of us have been looking for to properly document our lighting setups.
My shooting area is 10x20. Is there a way to setup the base grid to show a larger area and possibly to allow the user to add fixed walls or other elements on the fly? I'd be thrilled with just with larger fixed dimensions, but floating walls and a larger grid for accurate rendering may be helpful for others, too.
Not only are you photos amazing, these diagrams are just awesome. Thanks for such great work and dedication. I think we should start a stick with "Lighting Poses" like the "1-light setups" and just have a sticky with: 1 photo, and diagram beneath. Kevin, I cant say how cool this is, keep it up.
One suggestion, not really needed. Different size lenses? I know you could just note what FL it was, but it would be UBER cool if you could different size "L" on there, hehe.
There are some cool things on the net and then there are some way cool stuff. This certainly falls into the last category. What a great idea, one which I would have gladly paid something for. I would at least consider a paypal contribution if you don't want to sell outright.
Download and install GimpShop[/url]. It's an 8Mb download and totally free. Be sure to follow the instructions in the readme.txt file to finish the installation. Once you have it installed open LightingSetup.psd and Save As another file name. You can then open it in Elements and all of the available symbols will show up as separate layers which you can turn on and off via the Show Layer (eye) icon. As an added bonus, you now have a very powerful image editing program that is very similar to Photoshop and is completely free of charge!
I downloaded into PS7 & have no problems as Kevin said just select the eye, then move & rotate.
Kevin I think on your next project you could probably find a couple dozen business partners venture capital available pretty cheap. Don't sell yourself short.
Here's one from today with the setup. I converted setup, image of setup up and image with subject into a flash animation just like I did on page 7 of this thread.
