Title: Re: Rendering - png files.
I've noticed that if I re-save the rendered file directly out of the fxtree again, it seems to solve the problem.

It's not saturation that's the problem, it's gamma.
more precisly the meta data that says against which gamma values the file was created for.
the web browser is the refernece that's right, here -- VFX apps like the fxtree normally ignore gamma meta data and use the raw data directly

I have one suggestion (and I know this is not the best way to fix that) But I am sure
It can save your time.

Use Bath processing (inside Photoshop) to give a little bit more saturation to all
your PNG files using this automate feature to make color correction using photoshop.

Good luck

Yeah I have that problem also. Been working too much to try and get to the bottom of it though.

Hi peeps,

Quick question.

We're rendering a lot of elements out in .png format for web content.
When I open a rendered image in the windows viewer or quicktime, the colour looks washed out.
When I open it in Photoshop or the XSI fxtree, the colours look fine.
When I re-save the image back out of Photoshop as a .png the file now looks ok in the windows viewer or quicktime.

Is there a colour profile setting that should be controlled when the png is written? or something like that?

Here's an example image, the jpeg shows the proper colour of the ball.

Anyone seen this before?

Many thanks,

Adam.
