Setting the Working Colour Space for a Scene

You can select the working colour space for your scene in the scene settings dialog.

The working colour space is the colour space to which each layer in your scene is converted before all elements in your scene are composited together along with your scene’s effects. Then, the image is converted from your scene’s working colour space to the intended colour space for rendering. Hence, the scene’s working colour space is the intermediary colour space in which the compositing is done internally.

TIP For optimal compositing, it is recommended to set your scene’s working colour space to the linear version of the colour space used by your production. That way, the calculations done for the visual effects in your scene are not affected by the gamma curve of your production’s colour space.

  1. In the top menu, select Scene > Scene Settings.

    The Scene Settings dialog appears.

  2. Select the Colour Space tab.

  3. In the Working Colour Space list, select the desired working colour space for your scene.
  4. Click OK.
