Gamma Issue?

[jcuratolo]

There is no environment map right now, just octane sun, octane camera, and sphere with liveDB mat. Everything else is as it was installed.

Your sphere looks overexposed. Try to reduce exposure.

Thank you for your attention to this. I changed the fstop to 8. The colors are still washed out no matter what gamma or exposure settings I use. Incidentally, standalone renders just fine (comparing the same mat). Any ideas?

You can try to set response to linear

You have to reproduce the same environment and lighting setup as it was for that material preview rendering.

May be that is your issue

Thank you, but I performed that procedure as well as reactivating my license prior to opening this thread.

Would you mind posting a screenshot like mine with the same setup and may for comparison (1st wood mat in live DB).
