Exr format

[gigi]

Hello Juanjo, I have a problem with the file export. When I open the file exr, unlike PNG or TIF, the picture looks washed out and overexposed. It 'a normal thing?It states that it is the first time I try to use the EXR format.

Try to read about linear workflow & gamma correction, There are plenty of stuff on the web related this issue.

Shortly EXR is a high dynamic range imaging image file format and should be handle different from PNG or TIF as you mentioned. If PNG/JPEG gamma is 2.2 for proper display. EXR should stay at gamma of 1.0.

if you are using photoshop, try the proexr plugin, it is the easiest way to deal with multilayer EXR files in PS.
basically, it's the same plugin which is built-in into after effects for a long time.

Ok, I'm not understanding anything. ProEXR do not solve the problem.
I would just like to take advantage of the EXR format 32bit PS. Is there any tutorial or video? I apologize for the off topic.

You really need to start with fully understanding the Linear Color Space Workflow. Google it and bone up. In one day you can totally have your head wrapped around it and be up and running.

thanks for the answers! I understand that I have to study a little !! However, the problem was solved by saving files in EXR untonemaped.
I also realized that the Linear Color Space is very important! Thanks again.
