vray render in RAW format

[mm-dga]

Well I often don´t have a lot of time to set the right lights in my scene. - so I correct the light in photoshop with levels, curves and blending modes. But when I work with photos it is so much easier to use the "Camera RAW". Setting the white balance and exposure and so on - for a nice result.

 

I testet the "Camera RAW" on just a tiff of the render, and I find it very easy and with very good result. But do anybody know this:

Is it possible to save the render in a RAWformat so the info in the renders are preserved. Is it maybe enough to save it as a tiff 16 bit?

I use Adobe Camera Raw to process images a lot too, there are a lot of great tools that are much harder to do in Photoshop. I reckon 16-bit TIFF is fine, most camera RAW files are only 12 or 14-bit anyway.

oki - then I just save as tiff 16 bit.

 

Do U know if its possible to go "back" to camera RAW to finetune the render after working on it in photoshop?

I just see that in vray you can "Render to vray raw image file" - do U use that?

[Stephen Thomas]

All work done in Camera RAW is non-destructive i.e. you can alter them at any time. You would then need to replace the base render in your PSD file with the new version.

No, that's something different. You won't be able to work in Adobe Camera RAW with that file, it's a way of getting around memory problems in Vray and needs converting to an EXR file afterwards.
