LUT question
Posted: Mon Mar 06, 2017 9:44 pmHey guys - quick question: I have logC footage of an Alexa to work with, so: I set the loader to float16, make sure I have set that in the preferences as well.
Then I attach a cineonLog tool to convert the logC footage to linear for compositing purposes, set the log type to ARRI logC. Now, obviously, my viewer goes a lot darker. When I set the LUT to display sRGB space, though, I do not get the same colors as compared to those viewing the original footage without LUT. Shouldn't those be identical as all I have done at this stage is convert LOG to linear color space and compensate for that by viewing it with an sRGB LUT?
