COLOR SPACE. Today we need to open a drop down menu and pick color (sRGB) / non-color (linear). In a PBR workflow, most of textures should be linear (roughness, metallic, normal map, ambient occlusion etc) and only albedo/base color is usually a sRGB bitmap. Therefore, we need to perform 2 clicks over the majority of textures we import... A better approach would be to have just a check box for "[ ] sRGB", like in Unreal. If it is checked (default), color space is gamma corrected, if it is not, it is linear. Believe me, when you have a scene with dozens of PBR material, this is a huge time saving.</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">There are more colour spaces than sRGB, and many, many, many more transfer functions than the sRGB OETF.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A check box cannot work.
