Thank you for reply
This days I will try to fix gamma problems.
I guess what I export images with wrong gamma. As you can see on screenshots of ui above gamma changes also affect buttons color in the script window.
First screenshot was made with gamma turned off and second one with gamma 2.2 and look much darker
If somebody have any idea how to fix gamma 2.2 please let me know.
I will highly appreciate any help
Gamma 2.2 fix?
Great script, Igor!
I have just a minor request. I will be very happy (and I am sure many others too) if you find a fix for those who use gamma 2.2 (Linear Workflow)? I can't deactivate the gamma settings as you suggest because then my renders are looking wrong. For the gamma 2.2 users like me the banding on most of the presets is horrible. Thanks!

very nice script only issue
very nice script
only issue is when renderable is on rendertime increases drastically
even blank scene takes 10x longer then default
what i found was that its because of filtering , switching filtering to none increases the performance noticably
