EXR can enable post-render denoising, but you need to enable the denoising passes when rendering.
- EXR stores multiple passes/layers in one file (denoising data, beauty, etc.)
- EXR stores 32-bit float data (vs 8-bit PNG), preserving detail
- PNG cannot store denoising passes, so denoising later isn't possible
Updating the render script to automatically enable denoising passes when EXR is selected:

Don't edit anything. just tell me what I should set my render settings to.

Heres what to set in Blender so you can denoise later:
## Render settings
### 1. Output format
- Output Properties tab → Output section
- Set File Format to OpenEXR or OpenEXR Multilayer
- OpenEXR Multilayer is better if you need multiple passes later
### 2. Enable denoising passes
- Output Properties tab → View Layer Properties → Passes section
- Enable:
- Denoising Normal
- Denoising Albedo
- Denoising Shadow (optional, helps quality)
### 3. Cycles denoising (during render)
- Render Properties tab → Denoising section
- Denoiser: OpenImageDenoise (or OptiX if on NVIDIA)
- Enable Denoising
- If using Passes → Data:
- Enable Normal
- Enable Albedo (optional if not using denoising passes)
### 4. Render passes to save
- View Layer Properties → Passes → Data:
- Enable Normal
- Enable Albedo (if you want them as separate passes)
- With OpenEXR Multilayer, passes are stored as layers in the file
## Why this works
- EXR stores all passes in one file
- 32-bit float preserves detail
- Denoising Normal/Albedo passes let you re-denoise later
- You can denoise post-render in Compositor or with external tools
## After rendering
You can re-denoise later:
- In Blender Compositor: load the EXR, use Denoise node with the passes
- Or keep render denoising off during render and denoise entirely in post
Note: PNG cannot store denoising passes, so you cant re-denoise PNG renders later. EXR is required for this workflow.

So, when I send to sheepit, denoising will be disabled if I use the tiling option (which splits the frame into 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, or 6x6 so multiple workers can render one frame simultaneously, then they are combined) but I need to denoise it because the results are so noisy.

For SheepIt with tiling, you can't denoise during rendering (denoising needs the full frame), but you can denoise the combined EXR frames afterward if you save the required passes.
## Render settings for SheepIt + tiling
### 1. Output format
- File Format: OpenEXR Multilayer (or OpenEXR)
- Required so denoising passes are saved per tile and combined
### 2. View Layer passes (critical)
- View Layer Properties → Passes → Data:
- Enable Denoising Normal
- Enable Denoising Albedo
- Enable Denoising Shadow (recommended)
- View Layer Properties → Passes → Combined:
- Enable Denoising Data (if available; some versions)
### 3. Cycles render settings
- Render Properties → Denoising:
- Denoiser: OpenImageDenoise (or OptiX if available)
- Keep Denoising enabled in settings
- Note: With tiling, denoising won't run during render, but passes will still be saved.
### 4. After SheepIt combines tiles
You'll have EXR files with:
- Combined beauty pass (noisy)
- Denoising Normal pass
- Denoising Albedo pass
- Denoising Shadow pass (if enabled)
## Denoise the combined frames
### Option A: Blender Compositor
1. Open a combined EXR in Image Editor or Compositor
2. Use Denoise node:
- Connect Combined (beauty)
- Connect Denoising Normal
- Connect Denoising Albedo
- Optionally connect Denoising Shadow
3. Export the denoised result
### Option B: External tools
- OIDN (OpenImageDenoise CLI)
- GIMP (with EXR support)
- Natron or other compositing software
## Summary
- Render EXR with Denoising Normal, Denoising Albedo (and Shadow if available)
- Tiles will combine these passes into full-frame EXRs
- Denoise the combined EXRs in post using those passes
This way you get fast tiled rendering on SheepIt and clean denoised results afterward.
