The .r3d will output an sRGB'ish image, assuming you select RedColor2 etc in the gamma settings
So, the viewer-process means you are apply a linear-to-sRGB node to the already-sRGB image, so it looks washed out Ideally you would select the linear-light gamma-setting, do comp'y stuff then apply RedColor2's gamma as a viewer process, and maybe burn it into Quicktime renders etc.. but to do that you need to determine the curve it uses (simple bit of Python to create a ColorLookup by sampling two Read nodes, one set to linear, the other set to RedColor2) A simpler way would be to treat it like you have read in a sRGB JPEG: after the Read, put a Colorspace node set to "in: sRGB", "out: linear" On 20/12/11 18:45, Ron Ganbar wrote: > Thanks for this Deke. > The settings are all the same, but looking at the Nuke Viewer set to > sRGB, I see a very washed out image - what I would normally consider a > Cineon looking image.
