Hello... Well this morning The render got done for the Renderosity Cover Contest and I did postwork and I decided to see what it would look like as CMYK and boy was it real dark....And anyways to make a long story short I saved when I didnt want to save so I have to re-render(Took 40Hours this last time...I am rendering at 2550x2984@300dpi) now it will get done the morning of the 9th (I hope)and I will do the Postwork and save as A tiff file but in CMYK format like They want and I will upload the 640x749 @72dpi ...Now I went back into the scene and Lightened it up and re-rendered a scene this morning then saved as CMYK and looked at it and it looked like the original did when I first did it before I did the adjustments for CMYK....How come a normal lit scene went and turned extremely Dark?I saved with the LZ2 compression? How should I go about setting up my already dark scenes for Printing? Should I use the Gamma Correction Feature,Seems when I use that feature everything gets washed out especially all of the shadows? For all of you GURU's out there how would you go about this?Especially if you wanted to do Movie Poseters? Do I need to add more lights? Help is there a tutorial out there or do I need to do one for the general Brycer community?
