How do I ensure that my saved PNG image file from the VFB will look the same as when I bring it into Photoshop ?
The image always comes into PS lacking contrast and flat.
I have sRGB turned on, I save with and without Gamma 2.2 or 1.0 (whichever looks closest).
It’s as though the Correction Curves I apply in VFB or the Color Mapping isn’t baked into the image.
Any suggestions ?
Many thanks.
disable sRGB and it will look the same or go to gamma settings and from that drop down make it 1 on top and type in gama at 2.2.
Thanks Darius,
But it’s not that.
It’s like I play with my Curves and exposure adjustments etc in VFB, then I save the image, and no matter what setting I put into the Gamma, it will come out less contrast in Photoshop. (when I have chosen the right way to go with gamma).
Often I work in LWF, but sometimes I go Exponential, or Reinhard.
How you save the file? If you want to keep vbr settings I think u need to save from VBR itself not let max autosave it.
On top of that vbr adjustment settings are just quick previews, u should really do the grading in ps/other software.
I’ve worked it out…of course… VFB works in 32bit… saving to EXR will retain the look from VFB…
Thanks for your help Darius, questioning how I saved (to PNG) which of course is only 16bit…
