Please can anyone confirm this:
(See Attachments.)

When I save FG map with Photographic Exposure Control activated in the
“Environment and Effects” menu and then switch over to Logarithmic Exposure Control, I get a “corrupt” image in the render.
The opposite works as expected. Actually every other combination works as expected.

Yep. I did the same thing, and can confirm I get the same picture like you did. But if you save your final gather in a new file, it will render ok.

IE, when I saved the final gather in mrPE, I saved as ‘final_gather_mrPE.fgm”. Then switched over to logarithmic and rendered, seeing the same picture (white teapot). I then saved as a new fgm, and the picture became normal.

Yes, (If I understand what you are reporting) when you save the FG map with Logarithmic Control active is everything O.K.
You can switch over as many time as you want, it works normally.
The problem appears only when the FG map is saved with Photographic Exp. Control active.
