Vray to Photoshop with ACES the easy way.

I dont recommend this workflow if you need a proper color setup. Its just brute force baked ACES into the EXR.

Thanks for the vid.
We add 2 Aces LUTs on top, as we need all of the exr passes for retouching. We build the V-Ray back to beauty.
Still mad that Photoshop doesn't support Aces/layered exrs natively.

What's the advantage of using ACES vs. regular 32 bit images for compositing? I only see advantages over the 3D renders because it is fully tone mapped. Baking in the sRGB profile when saving 32 bit images won't clip any data and make your life easier for editing in PS.

@@Ricardo-de9juOnly thing I can think of is in photoshop we put a couple of LUTs at the top of the stack so we don't get values over 1. If you don't use aces you can easily go over 1 and in photoshop then you have to clip the file - which isn't as straight forward as in Nuke etc.
