Windows 10 says Exr-IO not safe to install

Hi all.

I am following the octane for c4d manual and it says to install exr-io in order to open octane exr files in photoshop. However when i downloaded the plugin and ran the installer, Windows 10 said the software wasn't safe. Windows Microsoft Defender said it was an unrecognized app and it was from an Unknown Publisher.

Any ideas?



Here is the link from octanes manual. Its a legit site but i suppose there is something wrong with their installer.

That happens frequently with various apps like these. Go ahead and install, it's fine.

Hi,

I am personally not an advocate of OpenEXR in Adobe Photoshop, especially when it requires a third party plugin. If you are interested, I have written some recommendations: https://www.elsksa.me/scientia/cgi-offl ... mat-debunk
