When I render scenes, they look fine in the rendering window. However, when I save the renders as image files (png, tif, …), the colors become washed out. Is there a way to fix this?
One the left: a screenshot from the rendering window. On the right: an exported image file. (The image file is grainy because it’s a low-quality render. You can still see that the gray and red are lighter than in the screenshot.)
The render preview is an approximation. Adjusting the Gamma allows for brightness perception adjustment (which differs on individual monitors). Try a .9 - .85
I think this may be the same issue I filed as https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-67649 a few months ago. Can you run SystemInfo and provide the text file you can save from that dialog? A sample 3dm and the resulting saved image file would be great too. I’ll add that information to the bug report for the developers.
@D_T I found an email you sent in to tech with the 3dm file and can reproduce the issue here as well. I added that info to the existing bug report. Send back your SystemInfo in that email thread when you can too. Thanks.
