Use the keyboard keys from 1 to 9 to quickly load the first 9 images from the history to the VFB.

Edit note – Add a text comment to the image. The comment appears below the image.

Set A – Sets the render as A image for A/B comparison.

Set B –  Sets the render as B image for A/B comparison.

Load to VFB – Loads the selected image in the VFB (same as double-clicking on the image).

Delete – Deletes the selected image from history. The image is moved to the system's Recycle Bin with the option to be restored from there if needed.

Load layers – Loads the layer tree preset of the selected image.

Load V-Ray settings – Loads the V-Ray settings used for the  saved render.

Compare V-Ray settings – Compare the render settings of saved renders in the Compare V-Ray settings dialogue.

Image Info – Opens a window containing detailed information about the image, including, but not limited to Camera, Aperture, FOV, Target Distance, V-Ray version, render time. Have in mind that the camera values are saved in system units. Also, the vrayrevison info displayed in the list is not related to the saved .vrimg file but to the current V-Ray build installed for Revit.

Open scene – Opens the rendered project in the viewport. This option works as long as the initial file path of the project has not changed after the render.

Copy scene path – Copies the full path to the project.

Copy project path – Copies the full path to the project.

Reload history – Re-reads the history image list. This may be needed if the history folder is updated outside of 3ds Max (e.g. from another Revit session).

UI Text Box
typeinfo

Manually saved .vrimg files can also be added to the History folder, but they need to be saved with all image channels in one .vrimg file to keep the complete image info.

Layers

...

The New V-Ray Frame Buffer includes a suite of color corrections and tools for adjusting the image. The tools are added as layers and displayed in a layer tree. Enable or disable a particular tool using the visibility icon () to the left of its name. The  icon indicates that a layer is disabled.
