Title: Loading render back into the VFB
Post by: actrask on 2019-02-20, 23:58:39

Is it possible to load an .exr of a render back into the VFB to tweak the tone mapping controls?

Well, yes. Save render to CXR and load it to Corona Image Editor (CIE).

If you save to CXR, you can in fact resume rendering in the VFB (that's the only way to load in to the VFB at all, in fact - the CIE is what would be used if you just want to do tone mapping tweaks etc.). Also, you can load EXRs into the CIE too, they don't have to be CXRs - but you won't have LightMix and Denoising options in the CIE if you use EXR rather than CXR. Regular tone mapping stuff, bloom & glare, sharpen blur, etc. should all work just fine though.

Wow, I don't how I missed this, CIE is exactly what I've been needing. Thanks!
