When Enabled (Checked): Easy Bake temporarily forces Blender's view transform to "Standard" when saving the image. This bypasses cinematic color filters and preserves your exact raw Hex/RGB color values perfectly without any shifting. Highly recommended for stylized models, anime shaders, or anytime you need 100% accurate color matching.

When Disabled (Unchecked): Easy Bake saves the texture using your scene's default color management. Filters like AgX or Filmic apply tone-mapping that compresses highlights and alters contrast. As a result, your baked colors may look slightly desaturated or "washed out" compared to the original base colors in your material.

Yes. Easy Bake is optimized for PBR workflows, producing standard .png textures ready for immediate import into UE5.
