rjtiedeman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Rendered images do not match the rendered screen images in the viewport. I always have to do major adjustments in photoshop. Why? Images look great on screen but are overexposed and washed out when opened in Photoshop. Working on an iMac Pro 10core with 64 Gb, OS 10.15.3 Edited March 20, 2020 by rjtiedeman Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 what version are you using. I think I've seen this and I think it was resolved. Quote Link to comment
rjtiedeman Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) 2020 fundamentals with the latest upgrade. How ever this has been a problem for past versions as well. Edited March 20, 2020 by rjtiedeman Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I think previously I saw an issue with the appearance of a Redner on a Design Layer and one rendered on a Sheet layer. Where are you rendering? I do think that issue has been resolved. Quote Link to comment
rjtiedeman Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Yes rendering on the design layer has been gone for some time. I always render the viewport which is by default on a sheet layer. Vectorworks rendering have always required photoshop editing. I just accepted the workaround. I put a request in to tech support through VSS. I just want to know if it’s my bad or not.

Kevin Allen Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 it's not gone, it's just not considered best practice, but rankly I', not alone and rendering on DLs to preview progress.. I also very seldom anymore take my rendering through photoshop for proper results. Can you show what the problem might be? Quote Link to comment
rjtiedeman Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Picked an old file at random. Some files better than others. The rendered image needs gamma correction and saturation bumped. I render a lot of displays with bright graphics a image of a house with foliage may not be as problematic . My team is trying to sell the sizzle. Edited March 22, 2020 by rjtiedeman text error Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I sell sizzle as well. What you want might be in the texture definitions. Did you report as CMYK? Quote Link to comment
rjtiedeman Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Exported as Photoshop - full color with Alpha Channel. I don't see any choice of CMYK or RGB. Unlike Photoshop I have a choice of modes. ?? Where does it hide. Quote Link to comment
rjtiedeman Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 I found a possible fix. At the bottom of the Viewport INFO window there is a apply image effects check box. If you click on the image effects bar below you get a image preview. If I modify the saturation here it save me a step in PSD. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I just tested a random render in a SLVP and saw a color shift topSD and PDF. Quote Link to comment
rjtiedeman Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 It's better but I would like to know more. Some of my finals end up with 4 or five adjustment layers to fix individual label colors that get messed up in the process. I suspect that I should spring for a better rendering package that works with Vectorworks. Quote Link to comment

Kevin Allen Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 that's quite the typo, even for me. I exported to PSD and PDF from the SL, and saw a color shift. apologies. Quote Link to comment
rjtiedeman Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 I was looking at the images I posted and the image is a not the best example in that the difference is slight. I have had way more serious issues where is was more pronounced. It may be the number of lights, type of lights, reflecting background objects or other factors. The color/texture shift is a problem that can be fixed in Adobe PSD but it makes the time spent running test renders ineffective. Quote Link to comment
rjtiedeman Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Tech support was able to replicate the issue. It was passed up the chain of support. Quote Link to comment
