Hi there, during creating export template, I noticed that my height map is saved as 16 bit non-float. I apply to add 16f export mode along side of 16 and 32f.
For now I will stick with ArtEngine or FriendlyShade normalizer solution.

    Appreciate quick reply. After noticing that EXR file format is not suitable for Height map (Affinity Photo, Photoshop read it as HDR in RGB, and got report that Unreal Engine have similar issues (showing map as red - with indicate read map as rgb instead gray) ) I reached for second most popular and problemless format - TIFF (that one offer 8, 8+dithering, 16 and 32f). I understand that title of this improvement should be "support of 16f for tiff"

    The available options depend on the file format you choose for the export. For example png offers only 8 bits and16 bit integer whereas exr offers 16 float and 32 float. What file format are you using?
