ebergerly Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 So I've make some masks by converting different selections into spare channels. Next I want to convert those spare channel masks into layers that will appear with my main image in an exported multilayer EXR file. I tried to add some pixel layers and convert the spare channels to selections in those pixel layers, then apply a mask to each, then delete the pixel layer and just save the masks, but that didn't seem to save the masks as layers. In fact I got an error when trying to export the multilayer EXR. And it was really complicated. Is there an easy way to do this?

ebergerly Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Okay, I saw a post from the great Mr. Ritson saying I need to name the mask layers with a .RGB extension, and that seems to stop the export error. But the new EXR file seems to include the mask layers, but the contents are black/empty, as is the contents of the main image layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebergerly Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Ahhh, okay, I got it. You need to right click on the spare channels holding the masks and select "Convert to grayscale layer", and then rename all layers (including the main image) with a .RGB or .RGBA extension.
