Nuke would be doing the comp in linear light, whereas PS does it sRGB, so you are probably looking at a gamma discrepancy of around 2.2.

Sorry Deke, that doesn't work either. I have a feeling it is happening on the PS side of things.
When I bring the PNG back into Nuke it looks exactly like the original.

Anyone familiar with Photoshop's alpha treatment?

    Maybe you have a straight alpha instead of a premultiplied one.
     So try just adding a premult node.

        Hi Deke,
        thanks for that, did it just now and it doesn't change
        anything unfortunately.
        When does the sRGB LUT get applied actually?

        Thanks.

            Nuke needs to unpremultiply the alpha before applying the
            sRGB lut and the premultiply it again. Did you check the
            "premultiplied" box in the read node properties next to
            the lut selection?

                    An obvios suggestion maybe, but have you thought
                    about moving your workflow to tiffs? Or exrs?

                    PNGs do not store info as floating point. They use
                    integers instead. This might be at the root of yr
                    problem.

                    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.
