To clarify this, it’s not that the viewer gain is being applied at a different 
time, but rather that your OCIO nodes are evaluated at a different step in the 
display pipeline based on whether they are in the node graph or part of an 
input process. Correct me if this is not what you’re seeing, but unless you 
have your viewer gain adjusted, the result will the same between the two setups.

The difference is due to the fact that the viewer gain is applied *before* the 
input process and ViewerProcess (unlike the viewer gamma, which is the last 
stop in the pipeline). Assuming the default input process application order, I 
believe the resulting pipeline looks like this:

Node graph –> Viewer gain –> Input process –> ViewerProcess –> Gamma


You can see how moving your input process nodes into the node graph changes the 
evaluation order.

Subject: [Nuke-users] Re: OCIOColorSpace reacts differently within aVIEWER_INPUT

Hey John,

What appears to be happening is the viewer gain is being applied at a different 
time using the VIEWER_INPUT

VIEWER_INPUT is going:
gain > colorspace > colorspace

Whereas the the other viewer is:
colorspace > colorspace > gain

Adding a gain node above your colorspace nodes and matching what your doing in 
the viewer output seem to make them match. Also when the gamma is 1 both images 
appeared the same to me.

Hope that helps!

[quote="John Stewart"]This is on the RGB. Here is a detailed screenshot of the 
setup. I've paired things down. The 2 viewers are gained down to show the 
difference easier. This is Nuke 7.0v3

      I would expect them to be the same. Is this on rgb channels, or a
      different layer? Can you provide an example demonstrating this? What nuke
      version are you in?

            I've got a VIEWER_INPUT containing 3 nodes total, all of them OCIO 
nodes.
            If you were to compare:

            A) an image with the IP on
            vs.
            B) an image with the 3 nodes of the VIEWER_INPUT connected directly 
to the
            plate

            The B result are totally different from the A results. In theory, 
these
            two ways of applying color transforms SHOULD be the same, no? 
Thoughts?
