Pretty colored lightmaps

So after baking out some light maps i then brough them into photoshop. it didnt come in with a default color space so i assign the default(Adobe RGB 1998). after editing and re-saving out hte lightmaps in unity they are now blue!

in photoshop the problem seemed to arrise when i tried to ajust things with ajustment layers.

is there anyone who is running into this aswell? work around?

 

Sometimes Photoshop will do things to Images that Unity doesn't like, DDS images for example always appear distorted sometimes saturated in billions of weird patterns and colors. what exatly did you do to the image. sometimes, re-rastering will help show what unity would perceive

 

I've had this issue as well, but have absolutely no idea what causes it. It also seems very random, sometimes all maps are perfectly fine even edited from Photoshop, and there'll just be this one random one that always turns blue or purple or whatever. Of course, the colors are perfectly fine everywhere except for Unity

I don't know of a way to fix this, but the way I work around it is to simply save a 16-bit TIFF of the lightmap and import that into Unity (make sure you set it to "Lightmap" in the import settings). Rinse and repeat whenever you need to re-bake.

 

Don't know if you guys have already found a solution for this but after a bit of playing around I found that if you flatten the image in Photoshop prior to saving as an .exr the colors will go back to the way they should be.

 

I can confirm that this is the case, accidentally discovered the fix a good while after this thread dropped off the map originally Does this qualify as a bug, I wonder? Though I guess I'm not sure if this would be a bug with Photoshop or Unity.

 

I remember when baking .exr lightmaps in 3ds max they appeared blue when they were saved as RGBA, everything was fine when it was saved without the alpha channel (RGB).
