Title: Disable gamma warning on normal maps...
Post by: Njen on 2019-03-21, 10:06:00
Is there any way to disable the gamma warning on normal maps that are loaded in as 'Automatic' for the gamma setting? I have exported my own normal maps that I know are correct that don't need to have their gamma modified, but I'm stuck with a stack of warnings when I render.

this happens with me too with normals that I know are correct but sometimes it goes away after ignoring the message and a few saves later it doesn't pop up. is this AS designed?

Corona can't know if your normal map texture is saved with gamma 1.0 or gamma 2.2 It just checks how texture is loaded and status of gamma checkbox in CoronaNormal map. In majority cases this gives correct result, but sometimes it fails because it lacks crucial info and Corona can't do anything about that.

What I'm worried about is that when I render and I see a whole lot of Normal map gamma warnings that I ignore, I might miss an actual warning I need to care about among it all.

Can there be a global switch to disable the normal map gamma warnings?
