Colorspace

Color Data | Colorspace

dropdown

The colorspace the channel data is converted to. Automatic is determined by the file name, size, and type of data in the channel. OCIO colorspace roles are also displayed in this list.

   

Color Data | Raw Data

checkbox

When checked, the image-set/channel is treated as raw numbers, so no color conversion is applied upon processing the data.

 

 

Color Data | Scalar Data

checkbox

When checked, the data in the image-set/channel is considered as non-color data such as masks, heights, normals, and depths, so Mari stops applying the viewport colorspace LUT when such channel/image-set is displayed in isolation.

For example, when you are viewing a scalar channel through "Current Channel" shader, Mari applies no viewport colorspace LUT.

 

See Color Data and Scalar Data for more information.

Mask Data | Colorspace

dropdown

The colorspace the channel mask data is converted to. Automatic is determined by the file name, size, and type of data in the channel.
