linear or sRGB in colour space?
Re: linear or sRGB in colour space?
I would go with lightwave's linear + kray QLWF +kray tonemapping (i use just gamma 2.2, all color correction i do in postwork).
The only reason is because if you use lightwave's sRGB (of course without Kray's QLWF) Kray's auto save of renders (render sequence) saves renders without gamma correction (and if I am not mistaken also buffers are messed up, but I am not sure).
Although, I sometimes prefer the look of final render using Lightwave's sRGB rather than Kray's tonemapping. I kinda hate the fact that Kray's QLWF does not affect colors (e.g. color node)

Re: linear or sRGB in colour space?
i try it 2 years ago . about lw srgb and kray its the same
if u use kray lwf with lightwave srgb its like u use kray tonemaping . dont wast time for this one.

Re: linear or sRGB in colour space?
I use simple: gamma 1.6 + exponential 3.0, 75% blending between each other. (75% is gamma). No LWF. For me more important is to receive clean image (good AA, no noise) a bit bright in shadows not over bright i white area.

janusz u rightr i for get to say u cant have other mood as janusz said about 3o% u will get with srgband kray lwf like tonemaing basic kray.
2.2 - 1 . 2.2 1 . 2.2 1 . so u dont have acces to this good thing about exponential and gamma ^^
2.2 - 1 . 2.2 1 . 2.2 1 . so u dont have acces to this good thing about exponential and gamma ^^

Re: linear or sRGB in colour space?
but in LW CS use srgb or linear?
if use srgb+lwf in the end render see a image different from file saved
if use srgb+lwf in the end render see a image different from file saved

If you use Tone mapping from Kray (LWF or blending) it must be everywhere Linear: Lightwave and Kray (first tab)nico wrote:but in LW CS use srgb or linear?

Personally I do not use sRGB (I am not sure but it doesn`t work in Kray)...I just use everywhere Linear (no tone mapping) + Blending without LWF.
