The title says it all actually. I have a 32 bit EXR with all my passes inside. When I open it in PS, the alpha is applied to all my passes and I don’t want that. I already googled and it says that that is a limitation of photoshop…really???

Photoshop also can’t read multichannel EXRs. (it only reads the beauty and alpha) You need to split your channels to individual EXR, or you need a plugin for that like OpenEXR Index of /ProEXR

I have proEXR, so I can open all my channels no problem, but all the channels have the alpha applied.

That sounds more like a proEXR issue then. Individual channels open fine in Photoshop and it even asks when opening to apply it or not

I can’t remember the exact combination but try holding down alt or ctrl when you open the EXR from inside Photoshop, it should force ProEXR’s options to open and you can change how it will open files by default.
