I am just getting back to this issue after doing the AC27 version. Looking at the various image save points:
1) PhotoRender Projection (with the OctaneRender Renderer engine selected) -> ArchiCAD controls the saving, and I assume that only 8bit saving is possible
2) Progressive Saving - doubt anyone uses this anymore. The FORMAT that is saved is specified in the Configuration->Image Save Format combobox
3) The "Save" button on the Octane "Rendering" tab. This is where it gets complex. The Octane SDK allows a "save format" (which is 8-bit PNG, 16-bit PNG, 16-bit EXR or 32-bit EXR) which is different from the filename extension. The "save format" is specified in the Configuration->Image Save Format combobox. So users need to match the file extension they save to with the Save Format in the Configuration. The "Color Space" saved will be Linear if the file extension is EXR, or sRGB if the extension is EXR.
4) The "Save All Render Passes" button on the Octane "Rendering" tab. This will assume you are saving to EXR with Linear color space, either 16 or 32 bit (as per the combobox).
So with this in mind, can you indicate specifically which of the above are not saving correctly?
And yes, I need to fix 3) so that you don't need to go into the Configuration to change the Save Format when saving. Perhaps EXR is not needed as an option when saving via 3?
Thanks
