REQ: 16bit output

16bit png output would be a useful output format.

When rendering with other packages, I typically output 16bit png images and “burn in” whatever color correction was done within the frame buffer of the rendering package. This provides a good base image with plenty of room for potential adjustment in post.

By contrast, I find the current exr output at 32bit not very useful. I cannot seem to get the color correction in post to look anywhere near the output from Enscape as 8bit file (png/jpg). As such, I am really left with only 8bit (useable) output currently.

ps. If anyone has any tips for getting the 32 bit output to match the jpg or png output in photoshop, please advise.

+1 for 16bit PNG

Thank you both @renderwiz and @Micha for the feedback, I’ll file this subject as a dedicated feature request accordingly. :slight_smile:
