Emission Shader in Blender 2.8 is not bright as the original input texture

Hi, this new change in Blender 2.8 (Cycles/Eevee) makes me uncomfortable, and it happened to me many times.

  • Example 1: When I want to render frame images on the View 3D, then I got a weird color of images. But that problem never happened in Blender 2.79 (Cycles).
  • Example 2: When I want to have a texture exactly the same as the original texture without imperfection, I mean, I don’t want to change any color, but the result is changed color, and it’s impossible to adjust its color to be better as the original.

Please help me, or please fix that bug. Image

Are you using the filmic colour profile? try using the standard view transform with none for the "look" and no curves applied.

* @george.mitev * Before, I used the filmic, but now, I set the standard to be the default at startup file.

Dude, just change this setting in your startup fle an save it as a default file (Ctrl-U).

* @yury.ziankouski * Thanks, I didn't know I can change the startup file. You said it so.

Someone in blenderartists answered me as below:

Try to change in 2.8 color management tab, filmic view transform to standard.

But I like the “Default” (Standard) much more better than the “Filmic”, I’m wondering why did they make the Filmic to be the default. So please make the "Default" to be the default otherwise I will always change that option everytime I open a new file, because I like it so much.

* @mandadream3d * Well I suggest you learn about color managment because you can't really work with digital images without knowing at least the basics of that.

Besides, you can adapt your blender to your taste : just use the save startup file function. And filmic is the way to go for most cases, so it won't change just because you don't like it. ;)

* @-L0Lock- * OK, I just don't know lesson about color managment. But the filmic looks desaturated for me, I don't know. Anyway, thanks, I change the startup file function.

* @mandadream3d * At least type "blender filmic" on youtube, I'm sure you will find a lot of interesting stuff. Or at least the Blender manual about color management (note it's not yet entirely updated to 2.8 but the essentials are there).

* @-L0Lock- * Thanks, now I know what is a filmic, for example there is a very bright landscape outside the house and we are inside the house, then we can see both the inside and the outside. But with the default SRGB, the outside cannot be seen because too bright, if I never posted this post then I never knew that.
