Kirlian Camera for Photoshop Artists
Exr-IO 2.00 is like a digital Kirlian camera for imaginative artists. It lets you see things that were previously hidden:
- Cryptomatte passes, which automatically generate masks for your objects.
- Billions of uncompressed colors.
With Exr-IO 2, every shade, reflection, and shadow of your 3D work can be accessed and retouched. It allows you to edit images in Photoshop as if you were using full-featured video-compositing software!
Cryptomatte Support
The new version of the popular Exr-IO file format plug-in includes support for cryptomatte decoding. Seeing precise and comprehensive Cryptomatte channels in Photoshop is like looking at the hidden potential of your 3D artwork. It provides serious visual assistance, turning every object, layer, material, or user-defined object selection in 3D into a visible, editable Photoshop layer mask!
Streamlined Image Compositing
Over the past two years, insights from creative artists and studios worldwide have been gathered and studied. A common need was expressed: the desire for fast, precise, and feature-rich production when editing professional image material.
Exr-IO has become a fast, robust, and reliable EXR Photoshop plugin, now a standard in art, game, VFX, and industrial design studios.

Mipmap and Ripmap Support
Game designers, who are often at the forefront of digital art, are quickly adopting the EXR format in their production pipelines. Exr-IO 2 now provides customizable reading and writing of mipmaps and ripmaps. This allows for easy modification and preparation for any kind of texture creation.
Managing Gigantic Image Data
The new version of the popular Exr-IO file format plug-in incorporates additional features like reduced memory consumption and numerous quality, compatibility, and stability improvements with better error handling. Artists can now open huge datasets with a large number of layers with significantly lower memory requirements than before while still maintaining very high read performance.
Exploiting DOF and Motion Blur Masks
Have you ever wondered how to create masks and selections for hair, moving objects, or depth blur in Photoshop? It’s no longer a secret. Exr-IO 2 retrieves all this information from 3D Cryptomatte data and creates selection layers for you.
Unlock Your 3D Software’s Full Potential!
Don’t treat your sophisticated or expensive 3D software as a simple pinhole camera. Your 3D renderer does so much more than just paint colorful images like it’s a standard color palette – it works continuously in the background to calculate lights, reflections, depth, and masks, often hidden from your view.
Leverage the powerful output channels from your favorite 3D application for advanced, professional compositing in Photoshop!
