Maestrorobertus Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 While I really appreciate the new support for EXR, I fear its not really useful in its current implementation. One of they key features of EXR is a support for multiple layers. We usually have 20 or more channels in our rendered EXRs. Of course its a professional format, best supported in software like Nuke. But, having EXR support in a Photo editing software would be awesome. Yet its far from it. No layer support and worst case it stencil the alpha instead of adding it as a channel. The only way to deal with that is rendering in PSD format. And I guess thats what we don't want anymore? Yet, I understand the developers too. In EXRs all channels are 32bit (or 16bit compressed). Meaning that even an alpha channel is handled that way. Maybe thats to complicated to deal with. But its also sad.

Staff Andy Somerfield Posted September 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hi, We are aware of the multi-layer EXR capability - and of the alpha channel considerations. They will be dealt with during the course of the 1.5 beta :) Thanks, Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
