Without DR all Elements are rendering great. http://postimg.org/image/rde95imrl/
But, when I`m using Distributed Render (two computers) all elements becoming empty (black). http://postimg.org/image/uliqik91d/It is happening when render is finishing gathering the rest of information from slave. In output folder, I can see correct images of the elements, but in a while, they are turning black one by one.

P.S. png and tif...

This is because you need to check the "automatically add/remove element channels" under your openEXR save setup options I believe. if you don't it will read the channel names, but not actually combine them.

I only work with EXRs so I dont know if its a png / tiff thing, but it works perfectly fine for me using EXR and multi channels.

It might be similar to the problem that caused denoising go black when doing DR which we fixed. Hopefully that is it, but if it still happens in 1.4 RCs please let us know
