Gretings to all.

I need some Help with the Setup of ACES 1.2 and Agx actual Version.

If i render in both version, the Standardmanager is right. but if i save teh Picture into JPG i go9t a high Overexposure.

Should i use AcesCG or better OCIO ?

I am a little confused here. All Renders in the Managers are good. But as soon i save from manager to JPG i got bad errors.

You need to disable color management in Picture Viewer to see same results. It will not about saving part. For saving you can use linear color space on file formats

The incorrect wording tells me that acknowledging the fundamentals should be the priority before jumping to the practical usage of the tools (although I understand it is tempting). Think of it as driving a powerful manual car without learning how a car and its engine work, that will lead to user-error mechanical issues.

I know it's overwhelming but that's like the two crucial decades of school education nearly everyone goes through.

Feel free to share any question (but make sure to read rigorously).

Otherwise, what Aoktar wrote is usually the cause of the mismatch.

Great Thing.

I finally managed it.

If you render the manager you have to set Project/Raw.

After the sekond render the ICIO is set.

I have made a new Light Setup and worked with Octane Tag. At least 6 different Light Groups.
At least with the fitting Textures it goes well.

At the moment i am not able to set a Allround Light Setup. If i want to drive the Cam from one Corner to the other it does not work.
I am limited to a vierto the Leftz or Right. Without Cam rotating.

If you know a Technique how to set the Light for the whole Room give me a Hint.

Here are my Renders. 6 Lighting Groups/Octane Tags.

Like real life camera you should try to increase exposure if camera have window on its back side. Also like in real world - light power outside window is really very strong compared to inside room :

Try to highly increase it and you will get more brightness inside. And again if camera is looking towards window decrease exposure. This auto-exposure function can be driven by xpresso in relation to camera angle rotation. It is good to have high highlights compensation or use OCIO like AgX.
