Path
Multi-layer les require much more space than single-layer les. Prior to
rendering, check that you have sufcient storage space, especially when
rendering multi-pass animations.
This is where you set the save path for the le.
Format
To output the passes in Photoshop 7 format, set Format to Photoshop (PSD),
click the Options button and enable the Photoshop 7 option in the dialog
that appears. This will ensure the Linear Dodge blend mode is used where
appropriate.
Here, choose the le format. For a multi-layer le, choose Photoshop (PSD), RLA, RPF or
BodyPaint 3D (B3D).
Options
This button is greyed out unless the format chosen has extra options. Click Options to access these.
Depth
Sets the channel depth to 8 bits or 16 bits.
