Viewer Properties

Viewer Colors	Sets either the FX Viewer background color or the Alpha Overlay color. Select the desired option and then click the color swatch to set the color.
Alpha Overlay Blend	Sets the degree to which the alpha overlay is blended with the image in the FX Viewer when you activate the Display Alpha Channel as an Overlay option in the Fx Viewer command bar.
FG/BG Display Mix	Sets the degree to which the merge source is blended with the image in the FX Viewer when you activate the Display Mix With Merge Source option in the Fx Viewer command bar.
Pixel Ratio Correction	Corrects the pixel ratio in order to properly display the formats listed in the drop-down menu.
Correct for 1280x1024 on a 4:3 monitor	Corrects images so that they are displayed properly on monitors with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1280x1024.

Lookup Tables

Lookup Table

Enables a lookup table (LUT). You can choose the Gamma LUT to perform a gamma correction, or the Cineon LUT to properly display images stored in logarithmic color space.

Gamma

Red, Green, Blue	Applies a gamma correction to each color channel.
Gang Sliders	When enabled, all of the gamma lookup table's color channel sliders behave as a single slider, from which you can adjust all three values at once.

Cineon

Cineon/DPX images use a logarithmic color space, so to work with them in the FX tree, you first have to convert them to linear space. These options allow you to convert log images to linear when you view them in the FX Viewer.

Black Point	The "Black Reference". This value maps the minimum log value to the linear black value of 0. Values below this will be clipped to black.
White Point	The "White Reference". This value maps the maximum log value to the linear white value of 255. Values above this one will be clipped to white.
Soft Clip	The soft clip value helps smooth out color imbalances cause by clipping the highlights in the original log image. It defines a range of values around the white reference over which the clipping curve is softened. This preserves details in the image's highlights.
Film Gamma	Adjusts the film gamma.
Monitor Gamma	Performs a gamma correction. Entering your monitor's gamma correction value ensures that the original Cineon/DPX image's gamma looks correct on your monitor.
Reset	Resets all settings in this dialog box to their default values.
