EXR with Cryptomattes workflow - Case Study

Been deep diving into color management and compositing this week. This may not be a particularly interesting artwork as it's only a statue from Sketchfab in Blender. But I have learned the workflow of rendering cryptomattes from Blender for compositing in Photoshop now! So cool to be able to use pre-calculated mattes from Blender directly in Photoshop or DaVinci Resolve. In this artwork I've recolored and tweaked the contrast on each statue using the cryptomattes rendered together with the render passes. It works amazingly beautiful even on objects with DoF. Will definitely look for ways to implement this workflow in my future projects. 🤩
