WYSI *NOT* WYG — problems with Use Maximum Render Quality setting for output

[David Lawrence]

[Jon Barrie] “Are you using a Cuda Card? Try to turn that off and work in Software only mode. The setting with CUDA puts the export into linear color space, which lifts the Gamma, turning it off takes you out of the color space change.”

Jon, thanks for the reply.

No, I’m still using my late 2008 unibody Macbook Pro so no CUDA. Software only Mercury Engine. Also, the gamma lift only presents itself on this one opacity effect. Gamma on the rest of the video is fine. Any other suggestions?

[Chris Tompkins] “Your not alone, I see this with the drop shadow effect too.
It was a problem with CS5.5 as well.”

Yes, I’ve seen this with drop shadow effects as well, but in those cases, they weren’t a big enough deal to matter. In this case the gamma of the entire shot is wrong.

Adobe folks, any thoughts, advice?
