I`ve read that feature:
and I almost cried like baby.
I`m a 3d designer and I use Photoshop only for Cryptomatte support (Vray, Cycles, Redshift, Octane, Mantra and many other renderers are producing it). It`s a huge time saver for 3d artist.
EXR-IO it`s best tool for handling cryptomatte support inside photoshop. It`s also free.
You may look here to understand what it is if you don`t know it:
It`s not EXR mattes. It`s matte for every object, every material and every part of item you like with alpha information combined together. It even handles selection from DOF blurred images, motion blurred images and under items with transparency. It`s much faster than pure mattes. It generates almost with few clicks without assigning every part of scene to individual matte. It`s automatic solution if you don`t know what you will need before working on image during post. It`s wonderfull tool and Affinity Photo needs that IMHO. I dream about delete Photoshop from my comp.
I`ve tried to install Photoshop Plugin EXR-IO (it`s free) in newest Affinity Photo 1.8.0
It`s possible to download it from this site: https://www.exr-io.com/
I`ve tried 32bit and 64bit version without success.
Why this doesn`t work in Affinity? What about other 16bit/32bit plugins? What that new feature in 1.8.0 really means? (is it handling only NIK plugin??)
Please help me. How to make cryptomatte support happen on Affinity Photo.
I think it would be ground shaking news for all 3d artists.
Cheers!!!
I was re-evaluating Affinity Photo as a possible candidate for our production pipeline. Affinity Photo pretty much has all the tools we need for our work except one — full cryptomatte support. I was hoping it would have it by now but unfortunately it's still not implemented. Will have to stick to old workflow. Too bad. We really like Affinity Photo and would love to use it on a regular basis.
This option is pretty important too.
