Hi,
As a file is crashing, I wanted to merge all objects in a new fresh scene.
But when I render in new scene I don't have the same colors as in the original file.
I search for color balance,... It is just lit by a sun.
Even simple color ( no texture ) are off.
Any idea ? Thanks

Hi HHbomb,
Have you tried saving a render preset of the original scene from the Render Setup window to use when merging it into the new file? Also, have you checked the ACES OCIO setting?

It may be possible that a new project file does not default to a given set of parameters of the Imager (previously "Camera Imager").
By default (at least in Standalone), the Imager is set to a plain sRGB EOTF conformation, no ACES (checkbox), no OCIO (file path), nothing.

Regarding "color balance", the Imager features a "White Balance" which may have been changed in the original project file.

It should be easily possible to find what it was set to by checking the aforementioned.
