@Martin Bergwerf, thank you for the reply! Yes, I did install ACES since it’s not default. I love AgX though! I don’t think it’s necessarily better, it’s just different, and from my understanding it does have a wider dynamic range and colors. My reasoning for ACES is because it’s the industry standard color-management system, so I want to understand it better to have the pipeline in sync. The only difficulty I’ve had has been with baking, but I finally discovered the solution as shared above.
Cheers and happy blending! 🙂
