it's so painfully slow. I use png as a format to send images to Substance Designer and it's slow . Use it because it 's less painfull with color managment and 16 bit support .

Can sombody suggest better format please.

How exactly do you create the pngs?

What are the image’s pixel dimensions and bit depth?

it's 4k, rarelly 8k x1k images usually, 16 bit depth . Originally created as multi layered exr file in Blender . Imported to Photoshop by exr-IO , then layers being composited into layercomps and being exported as 16b bit pngs with transparency to Substance Designer by a script ChatGPT done for me .

it's not only pngs actually , 16 bit psd files and smart objects are super slow to save too vs some photoshop alternatives .

in fact I use photoshop and pngs because a simple color managment in all stages without typical extra pain in your a.. with other formats. So wonder if might be a better format?

Can you give us some numbers so we know what we're talking about, and we can try to reproduce?

How many pixels wide x pixels high? How many seconds to save? How many seconds to fully load the Export UI?

Are you using Export or Save As? Do they start as layered files so that Export / Save A Copy needs to make a flattened composite first?

In short, whatever we need to know to try to reproduce.
