Rendered image saved in 32-bit Tiff via publisher is not a full range 32-bit?

Hi there!
This is a question about getting full range 32-bit images from publisher. I noticed there's a difference if you save a rendered image as a 32 bit .tiff compared to publishing the same format via publisher. Both are saved with the " High accuracy color..." options. Both open as 32-bit images in Photoshop but the image that came from publisher has lost it's range and it behaves just like an 8-bit image. I attach an example where I lowered the exposure in Photoshop to show the difference. Is this difference for a reason or is it a mistake?

Ok, I'm back after an update to the latest version and a restart of Archicad. I can't find any documentation in the list of improvements but the problem seems to be solved!
However I would like to post a tip not to use any post effects like color mapping or color correction in the render settings if you wish to save in 32-bit. This was not my issue but it would also clamp the range and give the same behavior.
Thank you Karl Ottenstein for helping out.

You have no signature... What version of ARCHICAD (version and build number)? What operating system?

Thanks, Karl! 🙂

Before I try to reproduce - could you update to the current release for SWE, which is build 4018?

If you get the same result from Publisher there, post back and I or someone will look into it. (I didn't even know 32 bit TIFF was an option... thought it as 8 or 16 bit.)


BTW: I'm on Mac, so if anyone reading this thread is on Windows... please jump in to reproduce in case this is a Windows version related issue.
