Hi,
Firs time this… saving multi-pass psd is different than render view, its more shiny… but JPG saved is same as render view which is correct . Did I missed anything in multipass or…?
…
p.s.
and one more… in PSD multipass file, if I place a another image in that… it shows washed out, it is all over the layers then how its washed out… any idea…?
1.0 vs 2.2 ?
not clear…!
My first guess would be that Photoshop is fooling around. Was that screenshot with banding visible take in Photoshop? At what bit depth are you working? (Image > Mode)
It could be as well your GPU driver. Does the image look the same after saving it from PS into for example JPG?
Both Images are saved in 8 bit from picture viewer. One is psd layer and one is JPG. JPG looks same as picture viewer but how PSD background layer is more shiny or glossy…!
…
I’d use 16 bit to save to PSD, that has worked fine in my tests. The only thing I had to watch for was when saving multipass renders, will need to change the mode for blending layers (e.g. the Beauty is saved as “Add” I believe - you can change that to Normal either in C4D layers before saving to PSD, or once in Photoshop).
Here is file…

Please see if anyone have time… why psd layered multi-pass is more glossy than JPG saved.
Thanks.

They come out the same for me - but the HDRI is missing, as are several V-Ray plugins, so not sure if that has a bearing.
I tried 8 bit and 16 bit PSDs, both Backgrounds looked the same, and that is the same as seen in the PV, and the same as the 8 bit JPG. 16 bit definitely recommended for layers though, since some of those will need the wider bit depth to be stored properly. And be sure you are not mixing layers, as noted the mixing mode may need adjustment. You are comparing just the Background layer? Can you share what you get from this particular C4D file? Could be something to do with Photoshop color management, all else being equal.
(I replaced your HDRI, since that was missing, with just a plain Corona Sky)
Thanks for that…!
I am not seeing any vray stuff in file, no material and no render setting, where it is hidden…?

Here are saved files. psd and jpg.
and why layer 1 is washed out as compare to actual one.
Thanks.

It’s not just washed out, something is up with the color depth. Not the results I get on saving - do your C4D settings match this: https://help.c4d.corona-renderer.com/support/solutions/articles/12000010221-how-to-configure-gamma-lwf-color-profile-
Yes, it is matching…!
but how color depth is gone… its all over the layers and no filter effect…!
…
Not sure, as not able to replicate it here. I do note that the PSD says it’s from the Mac, so not sure if color / bit depth management is different there than on Windows, either in C4D or in Photoshop (though if this hasn’t been resaved in Photoshop, most likely it’s in C4D - I do see the same effect as you on opening your PSD, so it suggests something has been embedded or adjusted for the PSD as it gets saved from C4D).
Anyone with a Mac able to test saving to PSD?
