Hey guys, I’m trying to do some compositing work and want to export my bloom and glare as a separate file so that I can composite in After Effects. However, I’m wondering why my bloom and glare is exporting color information. Shouldn’t it just be black and white, showing where the highlights are? Am I doing something wrong?
That seems to be correct. After all, the highlights do have color themselves… If you want, you can just desaturate the pass.
Oh okay, thanks Houska. Using the “Lighten” blending mode in Photoshop seems to show a decent result.
Maybe the note on the bottom of this page needs updated now?

Oh, that’s interesting. Thanks for the heads-up! We’ll check it out…
Yeah for sure man! It was mainly just that bit at the very end saying it renders completely black. Thanks again for the quick response!
