DannyBCreative Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hey All, I've been away from AP for a bit due to work assignments requiring the "other" guys software, but I'm slowly trying to reintegrate AP back into my pipeline. I know AP has always had the ability to work with 32 bit linear multilayer EXR files, but can it recognize Cryptomatte layers yet? I'm currently not using Ver. 2 on my PC so I can't test this, which is why I'm asking. Thanks for any feedback you can provide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could, but if someone knows the answer already, that takes less time and storage on my system. I know Photoshop can already do this via a powerful and free plugin. This is what I'm currently doing, but I was hoping that AP could do this by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spoken to the developers of EXR-IO and they tell me that it will not work currently with Affinity Photo, but they are interested in making a plug-in explicitly for AP. I made a post about this a while back. They asked if Affinity Photo has an SDK that they could use. My post on the subject received no traction.

DannyBCreative Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 I'm guessing the answer to my question is, no, AP is not capable of using cryptomatte layers in multilayer EXR files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted October 19, 2023 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2023 This has been raised before in the thread linked below in regards to adding native/plugin support in V1, as far as I'm aware the lack of native support is still true in V2 as I can't any info to suggest otherwise. 3dpartdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBCreative Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Thanks, Nathan. It does seem to have gone nowhere. Shame too, as that's the one thing keeping me from fully adopting AP in my workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
