EXR passes are really starting to annoy me. I've been trying to use render passes in every shot since January, and I've not got it to work once. I realized that Maya was rendering passes into separate files because I added a <Render_Pass> token in the file name, so it forced that. Now I have a 32-bit exr file with all the passes in the same file.

Now my main problem is where I've got stuck at every time. I can't get the passes to look like the MasterBeauty. Using the proEXR plugin which comes with AE, I created a comp from the passes. It displays the MasterBeauty (or RGBA) correctly (first image), but the passes it didn't gamma correct, so I had to that manually. When I add or linear dodge the passes together, it looks like crap. And it doesn't seem to be respecting the mia_bokeh that I rendered.
