In case you have installed in Photoshop other OpenEXR Plugins, it may happen that they get prioritized in the image opening process and take over the import process instead of Exr-IO plugin. It is recommended to uninstall the other plugins or force Photoshop to explicitelly open the desired file using exclusivly Exr-IO. To do this, use “File/Open As…” and pick explicitely the “Exr-IO” as extension, in order to open the file with Exr-IO.

If you are not sure if you have installed other plugins that my colide with Exr-IO, serach in your \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Version\Plug-ins for “exr” in order to locate and, if needed, remove/backup those.

Exr-IO is currently not supporting Adobe Photoshop on Mac / MacOS Platforms.

AffinityPhoto does not have an API that allows us to port Exr-IO to it. Therefore, Exr-IO will not work in AffinityPro.

Cryptomattes get imported as black and white masked image contents. If you want to have them as masks on a empty, transparent background, please use our free [Photoshop Script} (https://www.exr-io.com/autolayermaks-script-production-boost/)

This “overburn” look comes from filmic tonemapping in Blender. You can convert your Blender image, rendered with Filmic tonemapper, via OpenColor-IO plugin in Photoshop. Or you can do it on the compositor, in the newer version of blender with a converter node. The most secure way to get exact result in Photoshop is to use Standard tonemapper in Blender. This way, Filmic Color-Profile will not be saved in the EXR File and it will not be wrongly interpreted in Photoshop.
