The first step, is to select your rendered images, so post manager can gather all the render elements that might be needed.
Choose your Browse style, then navigate inside your desired folder, and select your files/folder.

Please note, that in case you are using “Folder” browsing style, than in the browser window, your images will not be visible in the browser window!

If the folder you selected has recognizable render elements, you will be automatically taken to the next step.

In this step, you can review your settings and inputs:

• A - Give your document a name
• B - Use the dropdown menu to select your desired template.

1. A template defines folder structure, blending modes, opacity, and label colors, at the moment
2. Press the Eye icon to inspect the selected template
3. Alert icons will appear, when your imported elements are more, or less, than the template will use. Click on it to see the list of conflicts.

• C - Select RGB or Beauty pass, when not recognized automatically.
• D - List of missing elements, that the selected template would require.
• F - Enable/disable the Extract Layersmasks option

Extract Layersmasks will create three folders for each Multimatte element in your list, and apply their primary color channels as a layermasks! (Red,Green,Blue)
It will also generate Layermasks from the Luma channels of “ReflectionFilter” and other monochrome render elements. You can change the list of these in the settings menu.

• G - Change your documents dimensions
• H - Check the list of imported render elements
• I - Inspect selected template
• J - When you are ready, press “Create New Document”

Please be patient, it may take a few seconds to finish!
Once it’s done, your document is ready to use, and you can close Post Manager.

Click on Replace Render Elements, and wait a few seconds for Post Manager to look through your file, and find your Render Elements.
It’s important, that these has to be Smart Objects, otherwise they will be ignored.

If the folder you selected has recognizable render elements, you will be taken to the next step.

In this step, you can review the list of elements Post Manager has found

• A - Locate them with the little Magnify icon, next to their names.
• B - Where there are multiple instances for a Render Element, a dropdown icon will reveal all occurrences.
• C - Click Import New Render Elements, to import your new render’s elements

• A - If your new render elements has a different resolution, you can toggle Resize Document! All your non-included layers in your document will be resized as well, accordingly.
• B - Resize your new elements, to match their original size in your document. ( Most of the times, your should keep this on)
• C - Update your existing layermasks with “#” Multimattes, and Monochrome layers.
• D - You can toggle your Elements to be included or excluded in the replacing process
• E - Where there are multiple images with the same Render Element name, you have the option to individually specify which one should replace which. Chose from the dropdown menus.
• F - When you are ready, press Replace Render Elements

Lay back, get a coffee as it may take up to 3-5 minutes to finish!
