PBR Validation and applying values

[StrongBeaver]

I'm using PBR Validate to validate my Base Color, most of the Base Color is Green except a small area which is yellow and red. Therefore it is suggested to use either Hue\Saturation or Brightness to adjust the yellow and red areas as so they change to green.

I've done just that, having PBR Validate at the top of the stack and Hue\Saturation immediately following; I got it to look all green as for the PBR validate. Although, when I disable PBR validate and Hue \ Saturation the yellow and red areas reappear ? 

As well the Base color looks washed out when PBR validate is disabled. How do I remove the yellow and red areas as to acheive an all green PBR validate but not wash out the color map as suggested for the documentation for PBR validate ?

Hi @StrongBeaver,

Thanks for the question.

The PBR validate has probably found areas where the Base Color map contains shadows or highlights, when the map shouldn't have some.

Therefore, Sampler advise you to wash out the colors in order to keep a more neutral map. 

With that being said, the PBR validate is a suggestion. If you feel like the material will look better without these changes, don't do it and simply check the result directly in your rendering software. You can always go back to Sampler if it doesn't look like expected.

Best regards,

The areas which are validating as yellow and red have solid black in those areas. It's too bad you cannot content aware fill out those areas then my map wouuld validate all green successfully. 

Except for half of the map which has a blur to it from the original image.

A Clone stamp layer could do the job

How can one select areas of the image to clone from ?

I tried clone stamp and it seems to select the surrounding areas and fill the area I want to clone with what is around the selected area ?

The Clone Stamp has a little handle in order to chose where to take the info from.
