Darker Renders in EXR or PNG in Arnold

[velosart]

Hi,

When exporting the EXR or PNG file in Arnold Render View, it comes out darker, I know this is due to color management settings but can't figure it out.

I have a Mac with exactly the same settings and it renders how it is supposed to, why it is not doing the same on my Windows PC?

If I use the Maya render window I am able to set up the color managment and it comes out nice, but only in arnold render viewer the image gets darker no matter what. Trying to gamma correct it in photoshop does not work for me.

I've went through forums trying every solution and tweek posible and I can't get it to work, It does not make any sense to use third parties software for gamma correction of having a course on linear RGB.

Please note I have the same settings on my Mac. Meaning, the settings in Maya and Arnold are exactly the same on both machines, yet different results.

Here's some images

Any idea why is this happening?

Try enabled.

I've opened the EXR exported from my Windows PC on my Mac's Photoshop and it opened with the correct color, so the problem seems to be, my Mac's Photoshop automatically detects the color profile and on Windows PC Photoshop, I have to change the color profile manually before opening the file.

I will have to manage like this for now.

Thank you for your help.
