Foggy LW renderings

[Anonymous]

Hi,
Just upgraded to AC 9 and have begun experimenting with Lightworks.
When i do renderings they look fine as they are rendering, colours are crisp etc, but just as it finishes all the colours wash out slightly, as if covered by fog, leaving the final render quite dull.

Dose anyone else have this problem, or even better an answer as to how to stop it?

And before you say it Dwight, the books getting ordered very soon......

rfoxley:

After checking the rendering in PhotoShop to compare the color values between the "in progress" and "finished" images, I found that many of the colors are the same. The ones that differ are the brightest surfaces (such as the vertical surfaces near the middle left), changing from 0%-1% to 5%-6%. I have this experience in my own work (the image "tones down" when the rendering is finished, a desirable result in my case). My guess is the "Overexposure Correction" setting in the "Brightness" panel is doing its job: "darkening overexposed surfaces". You could try changing the "Image Brightness" slider, or changing the "Reflectance" settings of the material.
