Hello,

I am having this problem with PNGs from Nuke that I need to deliver in a
Photoshop psd-file. This specifically concerns the shadow pass of my comp
but generally there is a discrepancy on everything that is not solidly
opaque.

My workflow is as follows:
- I write my 8-bit PNG out of Nuke using the sRGB colorspace.
- When I open the rendered PNG in Photoshop I assign the sRGB color profile
and over a 'transparent' background the shadow looks to have similar
density to the one in Nuke.
- When I comp that layer over a white background though, the shadow is
suddenly more dense than in Nuke. Also, there is a much harsher fall-off in
the shadow.

Is this because Photoshop treats alpha information differently from Nuke?

I thought I can maybe counteract this by additional grading in Nuke but
even when I grade the alpha gamma to 0.4545 in Nuke and then write the PNG
I get closer but not exactly to the same result.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks.

Florian
