Log2Lin

 
 
 

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. This operator allows you to convert log images to linear before applying other effects.

NoteYou can set the FX tree to automatically "de-log" Cineon/DPX images when they are read and "re-log" them when they are written. These options are in the Compositing preferences property editor (choose File Preferences from the main menu and click the Compositing item in the explorer).

Cineon Setup

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.

Film Gamma

Adjusts the film gamma.

Refblack

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.

Refwhite

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.
