    This is the best add-on if you need to work with ACES or swap between color spaces! It makes the nightmare a nice dream ;-). If this has been a hassle for you then this is the answer, also hands down the best value for money for time saved.

    This is the time saver I was always looking for! It works quite well even though I noticed a few minor flaws. tl;dr It is worth the money!

    At the beginning it didn't work, my fault, I didn't go to the settings of the addon in the N-Panel first and clicked Default Settings so it adds the most common tags by itself.

    However:
    Let's say your normal textures are called XXX NM XXX and you add NM with capital letters then they get ignored, so you have to add tags always small letter to work. That is a very minor flaw. Even though it might cause some problems if the name might contains a character name.

    Let's say the texture/node is called "Norman Cole NM" Character name first and at the end the tag if it's a normal texture. That always ends in a srgb even if I add norman cole nm to normal with non-color output. Because it contains the tag col for color you could work around it by removing col as tag under base color.

    When you have an imported model that uses random numbers for some/every texture, then sadly this addon won't be of much help. Since it looks for tags, and not where the texture is plugged into, as it so happened to an imported Daz Studio model. So even if the texture is plugged into a normal map node. Or the input texture always ends in a shader base color node. As long the texture won't have any recognizable word patterns from begin with then you need to do manual work still. However implementing such a feature would be difficult too.

    However in my case these cases will be very small and it still saves 80%-99% of the time. Definitely worth the money! And it took 0.001 secs to swap it for 236 textures. So I didn't notice any slowness or lag. Click and done!

    4.5 out of 5 so far. For version 1.0

      John, thank you for your purchase and review. I am glad this addon was able to save you time. What you said about the capitals letters is a bug and will be fixed in v1.1 coming out in a day or two. Thank you for pointing out the issue with a texture named "Norman Cole NM". This will be addressed and fixed in a later version. I do pan on adding a way for the addon to deal with random numbers for the texture name. As you mentioned, the best way to fix this is to have the addon look for what it is plugged into. This feature will most likely be implemented in v1.5 or v2.0. Again thank you for your purchase and thorough review.
