Can Pivot default to 0.336?

PostWed May 21, 2025 10:29 am

Hi all,

I always work with nodebased colormanagement in DWG, and the contrast pivot defaults to 0.435.

Is there any way of having the pivot default to 0.336 for Normalized DWG, so I don't have to change it every single time?

Thank you.

UPDATE:

If you save a still of a node tree with the pivot change, it will respect that when applying the grade from the still. That works for me.

Yep, make a default node tree with all the settings you want and save it as power grade.

Great practice for all sorts of reasons.


Pivot automatically defaulting to middle gray of the color space the node is in, would seem a good feature for future updates though.

Yes, seems like a no-brainer feature.
