So we followed that. Sure I'm getting better results, but I'm still missing some things in being able to understand this properly. I'm the type that doesn't just want something to work. I need to understand how it works as well (also so i can help other people with it then).
On the second page, the last part called "Third problem - saving the image" it mentions: "adjust photoshop to work in linear space."
I'm not even getting that problem of saving a dark image, so it's hard to understand. When I have all those settings set up and I save an image from the VFB, then open it in photoshop, it looks the same.
Is this just an old tutorial? I can't figure out what's going on.
I'm using the same settings as far as I can tell:
1. In max preferences enable gamma/lut correction and set gamma to 2.2.
2. Check affect color selectors and affect material editor.
3. Leave input and output gamma = 1.0.
4. In Vray color mapping, leave it set to linear, and set gamma to 2.2.
5. When loading a normal texture, specify it is gamma 2.2 in the bitmap loader.
That's the same exactly. But when I save the image it opens the same in photoshop. So what am I missing? This is a Very difficult thing to search for also because many people give help that's wrong, and you can tell, but it's hard to sort through the good/bad ones.
What is this business about changing photoshop to work in linear space. I thought it already did, only that it displays the gamma for whatever your process is, like different print processes and/or a specific monitor.
