When I save a multilayer EXR, my AO pass looks as followed. Every time. Anyone get this?

Thanks!

I just upgraded to the latest version of the plugin and Octane and still doing the same thing. It weird, if you open the exr in photoshop the AO pass will be messed up like that, then you can toggle the visibility and it changes every time to different messed up colors.

The AO pass and several other info passes are stored as greyscale layers, i.e. have only one channel. Loading them as RGBA doesn't work. How do you open them in Photoshop using the workflow plugin or something else?

EDIT: Just tried to open the octane compositing project. How do I save a .ocprj file form Octane?

Last time I tried - when I loaded an EXR in Photoshop, the Octane plugin automatically loaded it - /however/ there was a bug in the plugin where Photoshop was placing the "EXR Import" options dialog (to set the gamma) behind the main Photoshop window. You need to click OK on that dialog first. Then selecting the Ambient Occlusion layer worked fine.
