I noticed that when I render "using my Renderer, or Cinema4D standard renderer" , I can change image colors while it is rendering "gamma, exposure, ..."once the render finishes, a lot of data is lost "as if it is converted from 32 bits to 8 bits". "so dark areas appear losing a lot of data when increasing gamma, also light areas gets clamped"
this happens only once everything finishes "may be at the exit of render inner stage"
what should I do to avoid this? -

Hello,
could you explain what exactly do you mean with "once the render finishes"? Do you mean a certain message or the saved files? Do you talk about the bit depth you can set in the "Save" settings?
Best wishes,

well,
while it is rendering buckets "in the render inner stage" , everything is fine.
once all buckets are done, the whole image changes, a lot of data gets clamped "or possibly converted from 32 bits to 8 bits" -

after some testing, the cause of this is the Save option->Depth->8 bits/channel,why it affects the final image even without saving?

Hello,
I'm still not perfectly sure what you mean with "once all buckets are done". Do you refer to a certain stage of the rendering process?

I'm not sure which stage is it, but I think this applies after all stages are finished "after applying all videopost effects", the Save settings overrides the image "converting it from 32 bits to 8 bits" even when save is turned off

Hello,
even if "Save" is disabled the final image is still displayed in the Picture Viewer and consumes memory. I guess this is why the final bit depth is applied.
