Hey there :) Yes, if it's and sRGB monitor then the Nuke viewer should be set to sRGB. I'm not sure on the whole "emulate the look of a rec 709 by setting the Nuke viewer to rec 709"-thing. That sounds a bit odd to me. But then again, IANACSN.
I have however seen instances when it was useful to set the viewer to something else. For instance, when viewing (not measuring mind you, just viewing) alphas with soft edges it seems that you get a more accurate idea of what area and how much the alpha will effect when you set the viewer to linear. I haven't confirmed this but it seems to be true from my own highly un-scientific tests. :) Hope that all is good in the GHOST-ly part of Denmark. :) .patrick On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 10:50 AM, Peter Hartwig <peter.hart...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hey patrick! > > So likewise if on a standard dell monitor it should be set to srgb right? > > Hope all is good in sweden :) > > Sent from my iPad > > On Jul 5, 2012, at 10:37 AM, "Patrick O'Casey" <casey.patr...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > I am not a color scientist ninja (IANACSN?) but... > > If I remember correctly the Dreamcolor has several different colorspace > presets.
