Title: Corona 4 Image Editor Question
Post by: 1equals2 on 2019-06-19, 19:22:44

Hi,

Just updated Corona to version 4 and played with caustics.
Great and stable so far. Well done!

Having hard time figuring out how to save a single exr file with all passes  from a cxr file.
Just yesterday was able to do that with Corona 3.

If you have a CXR with all passes, you can just change the file extension to EXR. The CXR is just an EXR with some extra data. Not sure if that helps here, as not sure on the workflow/intended result.

Thanks! The tip did work, but has a limitation  if one has played with "EV" or other settings. Seems to reset them to default values - in my case the cxr, converted to exr and then open with photoshop resulted in blownout beauty pass.
Anyway, thanks once again - it was a time saver tip.

Would like also to apologize about the question. Have resumed a file inside 3ds max before updating Corona3 to Corona4 and then saved it as exr.   
Swtiching between Vray and Corona just left me with wrong impression that even the Image Editor gives You the option to save a single exr file.
