Title: Creating layered EXR to use in Corona Image Editor
Post by: Dippndots on 2017-04-09, 19:24:30

Is there anyway to render to TIFF and then generate a 32-bit layered EXR out of the render elements so it can be use in the Corona Image Editor?

EDIT: I'm aware you can make layered EXRs via Photoshop, is there anyway with naming layers so that the image editor can process it properly, I don't seem to be able to do bloom/glare.

Currently bloom and glare are being applied in realtime on beauty, lightmix interactive and light selecting elements. As I understand it, you need separate bloom and glare elements computed for beauty. Am I right?

Ahhhh ok. Yes, a separate  bloom and glare elements computed for beauty would be ideal.

Implemented. The possibility to view and save separate Bloom and Glare element will be merged into one of the forthcoming daily builds.

You are welcome. :-) Yes, please track the changelog for it. I am not sure if the feature will get to next daily or the one after that.
