Hi guys,
As far as I remember I didn't have that problem. Why are tone mapping adjustments not being applied when saving images?
-
What process are you using to save? e.g. from the VFB, to what format, from the Picture Viewer, automatically from a Render Queue, etc.
-
Never touched picture viewer my whole life, haha. Hate it!
Trying to save straight from VFB. Interesting fact, when I open the image in the windows viewer it is correct, however in QuickLook and Photoshop the adjustments are not displayed. I'll try to restart; it may be some conflict.
-
Haha the same as me with the Picture Viewer, I never use it either :)
What format are you saving to? Sounds like it would be something like EXR, not just JPG or PNG where the tone mapping would already be baked down and all programs would open it the same. Photoshop for example is notoriously bad with EXR, and needs the free EXR-IO plugin to have any hope of working with with EXRs.
-
Still the same thing, very strange. I superimposed the opened image on the PS next to the VFB, see how it doesn't look the same.
Already in Windows Viewer it's perfect, can you tell?
Maybe in this example it is not too pronounced, but it is not respecting the tone mapping adjustments.
I'm not using EXR, png or tiff is enough for me.

Sorry wrong attachments. Now the right ones.

Hi guys, quick tip for those who loves QuickLook.
QuickLook doesn't respect your monitor profile by default. To enable it have a look here: https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook/wiki/Advanced-configurations#enabledisable-monitor-color-profile-conversion-since-v317-6
