I just upgraded my crazy talk animator 2 for the 3 but now when i try to send body parts to Photoshop there is no launch button, i can only make a still copy of the entire character and open on photoshop but is just messy and even if i cut the parts i don't need on photoshop when i try to add it back to the crazy talk it doesn't connect right and is in the wrong size, i got a lot of experience on photoshop but new to the Crazy talk, i just don't get it that in all tutorials it seams very easy, and in mine there is not even a launch button when i select the area i want to change, as im used to computer programs i know it suppose to be a simple thing to do ( and the only reason i bought the program is to be able to customize it not only use what comes with the programe, please help me im almost giving up thanks 

Hi Steve,

The Launch button is only active when you are working with image based characters and body parts. Vector based parts can't be exported using the Launch button.

Please see the Online Manual page HERE for a clearer explanation of this.

Can you help in another problem, all tutorials i see shows much more options on the modify, i just have Mask editor, i created a png image on photoshop but when i drop it open the editor but the bone editor doesn't open, is like i not even have one, but those drawings like the mummy and pinguim they all show having the bone structure, should i need deinstall  and re-install ? is really frustrate watch those tutorials and not be able to do something so simple ,thanks  

And about the launch  button,i was using the manual as reference, so it was the image based character already on crazy talk that i was trying to launch ( i wanted to change his shirt like in the example in the manual ) still doesn't work for me ,will try again now and see what is happen 

Hi, you can import your png file via "Create G3 Free Bone Actor" in the stage mode.
When importing your character will change mode to composer mode then open the Bone Editor.  At the time, your character does not have any bone structure, you have to add bone via the bone editor.

I am not sure how do you import your png file into the CTA, but you can try again via the "Create G3 Free Bone Actor" button.

I done that already few times, im new to the program but because i worked with other programs i can understand the concept, what makes even more frustrate because i could so much more things and now im limited of only what the program has to offer, now for example, i was able tp replace the character shirt and eyes from my own customise ones on composer mode but as soon i hit the button  back stage and im on stage again everything i added disappear  and the character or dummy is back to the original features, the bone edit function still not available for     
Ime, do u think is because i got the standard edition of the program that im have no access to customise it ?

You are right, you need CTA3 Pro or Pipeline

AH,NOBODY SAYS THAT ON THOSE TUTORIALS VIDEOS, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING MAD NOT GETTING SOMETHING SO SIMPLE, WELL GONNA SAVE SOME PENNIES TO DO THAT THEN, THANKS A LOT  

I have Pro and can't find my launch button also.  Imported a photo to make changes but couldn't launch the editor

If the character is image based, take it into Composer mode and select the body part you want to send to your image editing software. The "Launch" button is then found at the bottom of the left side toolbar (see screenshot).
