The HDRI EXR files are black when I open them
Some artists have reported black exr's when opening in Affinity Photo or Photoshop.
We have discovered this is generally due to the way the EXR-IO plugin handles multichannel information.
How to fix the issue:
Option 1: Open photoshop or affinity photo with the EXR-IO plugin disabled.
Note: You can launch Photoshop without plugins by holding the shift key when launching.
Option 2: Uncheck Associate OpenEXR alpha channels in the EXR-IO plugin.
