Is that a +1 for progressively, auto-saved images? (Sorry about the image! :cry: )

yes please, what would also be great is for a way to set the render to 100 or 200 passes and then it saves and closes.

use Notepad and open the render preset being used, and change the number of passes, save-as>Custom folder.

It's this line, near the beginning of the file:
<Parameter Name="Max Iterations" Type="Integer" Value="10000"/>

Duah. I just now noticed that you can change the Gamma and Exposure after running a rendering, before saving. :doh:

Haha... As a long time Kerkythea user (however not a rendering guru) I did know that (or rather did it almost instinctively as it works the same in Kerky9

Actually in KT it's best if you set exposure & gamma before rendering (there is some optimisation based on those settings, according to giannis), but naturally those can be set later too. Not sure if it's same with Twilight.

It is very similar, if not exactly the same. For example, render a simple scene with exposure very high, like 3 or more. Then, after the render is done, reduce the exposure down to 1.0. You will see that the scene is essentially a gray mess. (If you go the other way, and render with a very low exposure, it doesn't seem to have the same issues). You have a fair amount of flexibility during and after render, but if you are going to be using "extreme" tone-mapping values, you won't be able to make significant changes 'post-render' (though making small changes should be fine no matter what).

Well, good to know. Will try to do it at least during the render. :oops:
