Hi Jim, thanks for this new version.
Just a question: when connecting an RGBSpectrumTexture or an ImageTexture to the power input of an ImageTexture, only the luminance works not the color information.
Is this a bug or is it intended behavior?

Thx

Hi Johan,

Thank you for the post.
Its intended behavior.
For color information, we can use the composite texture in diffuse pin or try emission texture!

cheers
