Hello guys,

I need your help.
I am working on a project for a client who wants his furniture to be rendered in a studio background, so i m using only Corona light with a white background.
When i proceed to render my scene no problem, lights and colors are good.
The problem arise when i try to save them ( either TIFF, JPG, PNG) , the colors and lighting seem faded / much darker. Obvisouly i opened them as well in photoshop and it the same problem(no change)
I have checked the forum as i m sure i might not be the first one but all post are from 2015-2018 and i m using 3ds max 2024 with corona 11 so all awsers don't apply to this newest version.

I have attached an image of my problem

If someone can help me that would be awesome ! Thanks

You said you are using Corona 11 but in the screenshot I can see its Corona 10 HF 2. Can you upgrade to Corona 11 HF 1? You can download it from here: https://www.corona-renderer.com/download

Can you let us know how exactly you are saving the image?

Also, windows photo viewer is not a color managed application. Try checking in photoshop if its same. For a quick help, try sending us a ticket.
