I believe alphas are linear even in an sRGB image (please tell me if I'm 
wrong...)? 

Either way, there is a video colourspace toggle on the merge node which will do 
the colour conversions under the hood so that your over looks like it will when 
composited in sRGB. Solid things will always look similar, but semi transparent 
or motion blurred things will be very different saturations and brightness (try 
overing a 50 % transparent pink square). 

Cheers, 

Andy

How are Nuke users handling workflows in which they need to deliver images with 
alpha that will be composited in sRGB space not linear space? 


It might be mathematically impossible but we do just that when going from nuke 
to flame with precomps, works like a charm. 
This answer would piss off the academics but worksforme(tm). As long as it 
looks good... We do occasionaly tweak the alpha gamma separately though.
