This might be a stupid question and I couldn't find an answer by searching. But is it possible to save an EXR format without the alphas being applied to every layer? I recently started saving my image as EXR and didn't encounter this issue as I started with interiors. Now I have an exterior shot, I can't for the life of me open the file in Photoshop without losing my background. On all render elements.
I use EXR-IO and maybe this is the issue. I haven't tried ProEXR. There is a dialog box upon opening my EXR and if I check "Fix transparent emitters", I get my BG, but on an extremely low opacity and I need to flatten that layer onto a black layer in order to see the background properly. Obviously this isn't ideal but I'll do it if I have to. Am I doing something wrong or is this the nature of EXR format?
