| You can change the color profile of the image that helps whenever you want a different exposure of the image instead of editing the already existing color profile which leads to the creation of artifacts.

| I'm afraid I don't know how or where to even start to try to do that, care to provide some pointers?

| I'm in touch with Tca_11a, but to provide general context for the issue I did some more testing and took some screenshots
http://imgur.com/a/77WBm#0
The summary of my testing is that the exports do not respect exposure adjustments via the control panel, but do respect magnitude limits set in the same control, and do respect the adjustments made by autoexposure if it is enabled. They also do not preserve bloom or lens flares, which seems like it'd be good to have as an option. Some export targets would want them and others not, I would think.

Post-processing like tone mapping (exposure), bloom and FXAA antialiasing is not applied to exported textures. Because it is hard to make them correctly across cube faces. Lens flares are also don't render in skybox by similar reason.

| Thank you for the insight, SpaceEngineer. It seems like some of the tone mapping is done, since the auto-exposure settings are respected, but the other exposure settings are not? My only other comment is that if it were possible to have any effects that aren't exported auotmaticly disable while the export interface is active, that'd lessen some of the surprise.
Is there any plan to revisit this feature in the near future, or is it pretty stable at present?
Also, I want to be clear that I'm getting a lot of use out of skybox exports anyway, even if I can find things to pick.

| I'm not sure if this has been asked already, so if this has been asked already, sorry for the spam.
How does SpaceEngine export the skybox textures? I mean, are some of them rotated, like:
Negative X = -90 degrees
Positive Y = +180 degrees
or something like that?

| Yes i noticed that the skyboxes are rotated and the rotation varies.
So i think there's a bug when SE exports the skybox textures as some positions are rotated in random way. For example in two of my skyboxes i had to rotate one of them -90 and not rotate on of them at all in the negative Y axis for them to be corresponding to the sides.

| The_White_Guardian, Tca_11a, I'm curious if you are running the latest beta version? I noticed the same problems after upgrading to it, and when I installed a copy of an older version I've not seen it happen there at all.

Is this why the cubemap I try to generate from this scene looks completely different?
Is there any way I can get a cubemap that looks more like the first image?
