Troubleshooting EXR to R3D Conversion

  • !R3D shows visible compression artifacts → lower the compression level or switch to a lossless variant
  • !The converted R3D image looks washed out → the source EXR likely uses a wider color space than R3D supports
  • !R3D file is much larger than expected → check if the conversion preserved an unnecessarily high resolution
  • !Text in the converted R3D looks fuzzy → text-heavy images benefit from higher quality settings or a different output format
