Hi,

Is there any way to brighten dark shadow? The attached render is converted to jpeg but the shadow of the asphalt is much darker in VFB. If I use LUT in VFB it gets even darker. I'm using HDRI, thought about the CoronaRaySwitchMTL but no shadow setting. Please help.

use a colorcorrection map on top of the hdri and increase the gamma above 1.0, it will do what you're looking for.
