OpenEXR tab

Configuration of the default settings of the OpenEXR file format. Most of these settings are also available through the OpenEXR load dialog.

OpenEXR settings

Default exposure

  • Negative values under exposure the image
  • Positive values over exposure the image

Default gamma

Gamma value for conversion to display. A value of 2.20 is recommended for OpenEXR.

Preferred rect

Worker threads

This option is only meaningful on multiprocessor machines. It controls how many threads (processors) should be used to load EXR images. More threads improves loading performance. Auto means that AnimPlayer creates as many loading threads as available processor kernels.

Z Buffer name

Sets the name of the Z Buffer channel. Unfortunately only RGBA channel are standardized in OpenEXR, so different applications may use a different name for the Z Buffer (depth) channel. Common presets are available in the drop down menu.

Invert Z Buffer

Inverts the Z Buffer channel. Again there is no standard how the depth channel is saved.
This setting inverts the Z Buffer in full floating point Z space.

Always show EXR load dialog

If enabled every time you load an EXR sequence a special OpenEXR dialog will be opened to adjust the related settings above.
