Yep - the best thing to do is measure your monitor and with this create your own inverse gamma LUT to use in the viewer. This is the best way to avoid seeing gamma shifts in the picture.
Im using the Truecolor node a lot with film DPX - i had my monitor Eizo CG245W measured by those guys (Filmlight) , and this gives me a monitor profile which can be fed into a truecolor node ( it then works alongside the chosen film profile) It does actually look a lot different than the standard sRGB monitor setting in a truecolor node. But now on comparison, since the release of OCIO luts - i now use OCIO (FilmsRGB and RAWsRGB) as this work great in comparison to the truecolor nodes. I also think the LogtoLin convertor by OCIO is brighter and somehow better than the 2 nuke LogtoLin nodes Neil Scholes +44(0) 7977 456 197 www.uvfilms.co.uk On 31 Aug 2012, at 03:51, Jonathan Egstad wrote: > Nuke doesn't force you to work in sRGB, that's just its default. > If you're preference is to calibrate to g2.2 then simply change the Nuke's > lut defaults from sRGB to g2.2 and don't worry about converting anything. > > -jonathan > > On Aug 30, 2012, at 10:30 AM, chris <[email protected]> wrote: > >> hello everybody, >> >> i'm evaluating some display calibration options and got confused, so i hoped >> somebody can shed some light on this: >> >> i always assumed that the Nuke sRGB viewer LUT is made to match a standard >> sRGB monitor. >> now, the calibration software for the NEC monitor i'm using offers different >> target gamma curves, with a default of 2.2 and a custom option of sRGB. >> since nuke lists sRGB, i would expect that sRGB is the right option for nuke. >> >> however, 2.2 is the recommended default in pretty much all profiling >> software (x-rite, datacolor and spectraview), so it would appear that for a >> normal desktop photo/video workflow this is the desired setting which most >> people use (which is confusing again as i thought any color dumb >> application, like final cut pro would be designed to work on a sRGB monitor). >> >> so, what do other people with better understanding do? >> calibrate to a sRGB monitor response curve for Nuke and a Gamma 2.2 for all >> other apps and switch between the two? or am i missing something here? >> >> would be grateful for any pointers >> ++ chris >> >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Nuke-users mailing list >> [email protected], http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ >> http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users > _______________________________________________ > Nuke-users mailing list > [email protected], http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ > http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users > _______________________________________________ Nuke-users mailing list [email protected], http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users
