Given an input bitmap and an output, when an sbs is run through the SAT, any levels or histogram scan adjustments behave violently different than what is observed in the 3d/2d view, and local exports. Diffs only occur through SAT. A finely tuned mask will most usually get blown out to pure white.

I have checked with pipeline that enough memory is allowed, that position maps are baked correctly. The project will not have enough dedicated access to farm GPU machines so a fix for a potentially major CPU diff is in order. Must also note that this occurs when I run SAT on my local machine through automator not just on farm. Some help debugging would be appreciated.

I am unable to provide any files.

Thanks

Hello,
This is a possible difference between CPU and GPU engines.  To confirm this option can you change SD with SSE engine (cpu) and see if you have the same result as SAT? 
If this is the case I will discuss that with the engine team.
Thanks.

Previewing with 2d/3d view and exporting outputs locally with OpenGL 3.x (7.2.9) and SSE2 (7.2.9) return the same expected results - they're close enough that I haven't bothered to closely compare the outputs. It's only when going through automator that any histogram modification becomes a severe problem.
