Layer shader and output gamma

[atlantis23]

I've noticed that the DOF layer shader does not respect the special output gamma setting in the render tab (in EIAS 8 and 9). The .psd output always looks like gamma 1 regardless of the gamma setting. Is this a bug or a feature?

Ola,

Could you send me a really simple sample project which demonstrate the problem?

Thanks

Hi Tom

 

I've sent you a sample project.

 

Thanks, VK

Yes, I noticed this too.....Tom, I just haven't had a chance to send you a test yet but I will! (Really busy)

Yes I have the same Tomas, I thought I sent you a sample a while back?

Would like to know if there is a fix.

Thanks,

[Tomas Egger]

Ola,

 

We will take a look..

 

Thanks

Ola,

 

From Igors:

“All layers shaders ignore Output Gamma because it should be applied to final image only. An applying it to each layer would not produce a correct result (layers sum)”

 

So, its a correct behavior right now.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the clarification Tom!

 

Quick follow up question.....

 

It seems like the gamma doesn't effect the material "color" only "maps".

 

I used a color swatch as my texture and it came out perfect. But when I put that same color (same RGB values) into the material "color" it came out wrong.

 

I'm usually using gamme 2.0 or 2.2

 

Thanks
