Image Editor Standalone ?

[Philip kelly]

Hi

Can the image editor to sent to a cline to install so they can adjust the lighting they want?

Don't know the answer, but you can test it by yourself - deactivate Corona licence and see if image editor works. If it does, then, the answer is yes, otherwise, no.

It makes sense to have free license image editor because only corona can produce CRX files for image editor

CIE is a "portable" application, you can just move the exe, it does not require installation. But you need a Corona license to activate it.

It also opens regular EXRs. ;)

But regular EXRs doesn't contain lightmix informations...

I can't see it as a reason to make CIE license-free.

from beginning it was additional tool for corona, no one will use it for EXR editing if you have photoshop or other image editors, so CIE is only for corona renders. You can think about it like additional ads, and new opportunity to give client to tweak colors for render image what they bought from corona user. Or like interactive presentation with lightmix

Keep license as is. Conduct a study...

Could offer a unique customized (pro-longed demo) CIE version as is the case with Corona 1.6 Standalone for Blender.
I would even opt out for a single payment (<20€) or in the case of a 'study' - gladly allow the use of gathered data & provide my feedback - without any updates, fixes, customer service... purely, single product experience w/o strings attached.
Get some extra cash for the icecream and charry on top.

Would make a lot of clients, designers, artists and common users (all those not using Corona) happy  ;)

And after a while you would see, if it's worth developing the CIE (post fx - compositing - tone mapping tool) into Corona Standalone Studio (using your proprietarry format - later on, possibly adding ABC, FBX, OBJ, STL importers).

There's a lot of inquiry for "Virtual photo studio" around CG forums - since for now, only options are: Maxwell & Arion (both old and slow, while almost all other engines need dedicated plugins/exporters/DCC apps) and are in technical sense far away from virtual photographic workflow.


... a thought long lingering...
