Hi,
I'm not familiar with the takes system at all I'm afraid. But just thinking out aloud, can you tell it to save your renders as OpenEXR's? That should at least allow you to load the image/s back into the Corona Image Editor for further tweaking.

Beanzvision, I can save Exrs but then I can't play with Lightmix. For that I need a cxr. But due read further down, my answer to TomG.
Now, I have never tested this with the Takes system, so don't know if it would work, but there is the "Auto save to VFB history on render end" in Corona -> Preferences (see attached)
One word of warning would be that I am not sure what effect this has on memory, if saving the images and having them in the history would require a significant amount of memory or not, especially as there would be LightSelect passes etc saved each time.
TomG, your solution worked just fine. Many thanks. It doesn't have any negative effect on the memory as the images are stored in the hard disk, in the preferences folder of C4D under Corona>History. There one finds all the cxrs and can they tweak all of the renders each one with it's specific lightmix. Crazy awesome!
One thing worthwhile noting is that if one saves from the VFB, one only gets the cxr of the last rendered image. Even thought you are clicking on saving an older render than the last one... Anyhow, this problem can be bypassed by accessing the preferences folder where you will find all of the history of your renders in cxr format (having you enabled "Auto save to VFB history on render end" in Corona -> Preferences)
So many thanks for your help. Now I can work on all of the cxrs of my rendered history.
