P: OCIO and ACES support for full support 32bit image editing

In a similar way Affinity supports OCIO it would be great if Adobe atleast kept up. The plugin someone has made does not work properly and is far from ideal, it requires LUTs to be made for each possible combination, its not fluid at all and the result is often incorrect.

 

Full 32bit support is pretty vital in general for everything in PS

 

Photoshop is the industry leader and has been for years but if you don't keep up with the times you will loose your user base.

    When you are working with multipass renders (AOVs) which is very common in cg production pipelines you are basically "forced" to use 32 bit. So yes, there are a lot people using that other than the OP, me included.

    The holy grail of missing piece for the whole VFX industry.

     

    Every program under the sun is starting to support color managed workflows. I am talking full input-output under an artists control.  

     

    OCIO is where its at 

     

    and no the fnord plugin isnt a solution, thats just giving us a viewer lut (great) but we need input colorspace conversions also

     

    AE allready supports ACES at least, can we have that in PS? 

    Please make that happen .  affinity has OCIO. 

     

    Thank you.

      up for it,it's incredible that we still haven't a way to work 32 bits linear,i can't believe it's still not there. almost every 3D application outputs ocio,how are we supposed to work without it?

        I am surprised that this is not more popular here on the forums, because there are many thousands of visual effects artists for who not having ocio in photoshop is a problem, and the workarounds are very complicated.

         

        Please integrate ocio!  Thanks

        I don't understand why I'm able to do stuff with 32bit in AE and then not repeat that in PS... Makes no sense.

        Don't get me wrong, PS is a great tool, but so much of the architecture is old. Hopefully the acquisition of Allegorithmic will invigorate the devs to support this. 32bit is not new guys, HDR is here to stay. Not supporting it now would be the same as saying 'we're not supporting layers' 20 years ago because it's a 'niche' requirement. If you're shooting brackets, you're already halfway towards 32bit workflow. Why settle for an 8bit tone map of all that raw camera data???

          This is a massive one if you're going from animation to print.

          David, you're dead wrong and it's shocking that you think settling for functionality where you get (literally) less than 1/60,000th the amount of color value...is acceptable. There is a sizable working group of professional PS users relying on the 30-bit display functionality, working in its limited 32 bit capabilities, and really trying to maximize what kind of image quality PS is capable of. If that's beyond your image processing needs fair enough, but let's not pretend that working with massive increases in image quality and usability are some niche feature request...

          also in with 32-bit support requests for content aware fill, adjustment layers, and the functions used to stitch panoramas etc. this is a sorely needed update! I must routinely resort to 3-4 other software titles outside the Adobe family to do really basic things related to created HDRI Domes (32-bit spherical imagery) for CGI purposes.

          And you are entitled to your opinion. And in your opinion is it niche fair enough. But that's just an opinion right?
