If you have the denoiser enabled, check if the Alpha is on. If it is, turn it off. Maybe it will solve this issue

So far I've read it could be the format of the HDR needing to be changed due to an OS upgrade. Not sure how true that is.

I don't ever use denoiser tbh. I always worry it will mess with small details I might actually need for clarity.

It's a double edged sword, as she broke my heart, lol.Lucky you
She was super popular wherever we went. Especially with her DD cup chest by swimming pool.
I had plenty of fun with her, but so did plenty of others.
If only I'd been more mature back then. Wasted opportunity for a perfect hotwife, but I was way too young at the time.
I was seeing other girls as well, so it's not like I was devoted either tbh.
This seems to be another one of the 4.22 IRay problems. Perhaps some of these HDR file extensions are not compatible with the newer version, so it's not able to handle them properly.
A solution would be to load the file in an image editor like Photoshop, save it as .hdr, and then try again in DAZ. I think this has the .exr extension to it which is a known issue.

Thanks so much. I tried to do this with Gimp and everytime it crashes the damn thing! Thanks for the heads up!!

I think you maybe right but I don’t think it’s a Mac update issue as I use a Windows pc and have the same issue.
I don't think it's an OS upgrade, I've had this issue for months, particularly with specific scene files like the frozen lake. In fact, I think it might be all "snow" settings I've tried to use.

Oh I see. I always tend to assume it's down to my mac not being able to deal with Daz, as I'm always using its CPU for rendering etc. It must be super annoying for devs like yourself, as it can mess with your output and work schedules.
I'm not at the level of expertise to need photoshop so rely on gimp, yet as I said, it crashes when I try to load one of those HDRs into it, to change the file name. I guess it's like when tif files for older textures would always make Daz crash as well.
Super annoying!
I just realised I could always use a third party online service to change the file extension. There's some excellent ones out there.

I will say, as someone who is competent in daz, I think the big thing is learning to light properly. I barely have any knowledge in lighting, but seeing other artists in here do what they do it makes a world of difference. Barring that, a lighting preset you like.

Also, getting to understand mesh or ghost lighting (whichever you want to call it) by introducing emissive primitives or various shapes/sizes whenever you wish to remove the issue of annoying shadows (created by body parts etc).
