Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if this issue has already been resolved. I have a scene with an object and a backplate set up. I need to match the sun/object's exposure to the backplate. I created Corona Sun and added the skylight map into corona environment slot. My object immediately becomes overexposed. If I change the exposure in Corona render window to -6.0 I get a fairly normal looking object with appropriate exposure. (like this person here

The first problem is that my backplate (obviously) also changes its exposure to -6.0 and now I can't match the two exposures (the object and the backplate).
The second problem is that after I change the exposure to -6.0 and then edit any kind of parameter either in Corona Sky or in the Corona Skylight map the exposure of my object jumps back to it's original overexposed value. I then have to set my global exposure to -12 to get the correct exposure again and so forth. It's impossible to work like this.
I've tried using Corona Output to regulate the exposure of the Skylight map but I get completely different and incorrect exposure.
If I use 3ds Max's sun system everything seems to work fine.
I hope someone can help me with this issue. Thank you so much.
