I’ve tried several permutations of file type .tga, .bmp combined with texture group and compression format. But when I rightclick on my textures and do asset action-\>export, the file does not save. Are there any constraints on exporting textures from the editor that are not immediately obvious from the error logs? Repro: Created capture camera. Captured to render target. Right click → Create static. Save static. Right click on static → asset action → export as .bmp, .tga etc. No file comes out… The following error is repeated in the log window: LogRenderTargetPool:Warning: r.RenderTargetPoolMin exceeded 921/400 MB (ok in editor, bad on fixed memory platform) But I wouldn’t expect that to interfere with my output. ---

Hi Will, We originally had a ticket in with not being able to export some files to image format with UE-9151 but it was closed as “Won’t fix” with the context that if a file has no source art (very common with textures) so we cannot feasibly export it. -Tim ---

Is there a work around whereby we can create a source file? I really need to be able to edit these captures. ---

Not that I’m aware of, unless you can use anything from an HDR image. That’s the only one that I know will export to a file. ---

What exact settings are you using? I can’t get it to save HDR to file. ---

Select the Render Target asset in the Content Browser \> Right-Click Export \> Will automatically give the option to save as HDR (Default on my end)
