techncially not though. As in the example. If i get two differently exposed images using from the settings i previously mentioned. if i just use the exposure value then when i get to ev8, i will have the exposure that mental ray wants to give me rather than the exposure i want.

if you understand me.

lets say i wanted the brighter of my two setting combos.

iso 100, f 16, ss 1

if use the ev spinner to get to a ev value of 8 then mr gives me values in my dials as iso 100, f8 and ss 4.

which is different again to the setting of 8 that i was happy with.

so in that case are you saying that i just lower the ev value even more and i will eventually get the same resulting image that i had with iso 100, f 16, ss 1
