Look here to create a linear ICC profile: http://fnordware.blogspot.com/2008/05/making-linear-icc-profile.html. With that set as your working space, you should be able to get correct blending. If you only have a couple of layers, you could try adding a Levels effect and set gamma to 0.4545 to

When I try to do this I usually set Photoshop to an sRGB working space, then in Nuke before each merge I use a ColorSpace node to convert to sRGB, then I do the Merge, and then I use another ColorSpace node to convert back to Linear. I'm not in front of Nuke at the moment, but if memory serves

Well in Nuke sRGB is purely a gamma curve. Unless you are really using the colorspace node to do more then apply the gamma curve.In Photoshop its a color space always. Also regarless of what icc you use. Even if its linear the blend modes are still your probably I beat. Randy S. Little

Thanks, Julik, Andy and Simon for your suggestions, ideas and questions. After trying a number of things and reading some more about the way ProEXR and Photoshop handles things, we're going to try to make our tweaks in Nuke and let Photoshop do whatever it does. It may take a few rounds of

Very nice, Thomas. I'm in! A couple of questions regarding future releases (if you indeed plan to update this periodically): 1. Are you planning to add speed change support? 2. Are you planning to add more software choices? 3. What about the round trip? Going back to FCPX from Nuke?

From what I know (most if not all) transform nodes concatenate as long their filtering methods are the same. Color correction nodes don't, since they are already calculated in 32bit linear float. On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 7:36 AM, Ron Ganbar ron...@gmail.com wrote: Purple colored Transform nodes

After, as it will make the layers blend in linear light instead of sRGB. The overall gamma will be the same as the sRGB viewer lut you have in Nuke. Although, you might introduce problems with banding as your really bending the colors of 8-bit. Of course you will also clamp values above 1. It
