Title: Cryptomatte
Post by: fabio81 on 2022-02-07, 10:10:42

Hi Corona Team!
thank you for this!

I'm trying to figure out how to save it properly. I first saved in CXR and then in tiff, exr, hdr, but the result is always different.
Where am I wrong?

thanks

PS: sorry I made a mistake in the forum section

Must be saved to CXR, which can then be renamed to an EXR file type after saving in order to load it into other applications. If loading into Photoshop, Exr-IO is required (the latest version, with cryptomatte support).

EDIT - also see this thread, https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=35535.0 the same things apply in terms of settings, both in the element/render pass, and for Exr-IO :)

Hi TomG,
I tried as you said but the result looks different. I have installed EXR-IO version 2.02 with Cryptomatte support.

Those are not the usable parts of Cryptomatte :) You should have a layer for every object (or layer etc). Be sure to follow the info in the other thread, e.g. DISABLE propagate in the Crypto in Corona before rendering, in this build.
