DeepColorCorrect

This is a ColorCorrect node for deep compositing. It applies the color correction to all samples at each pixel. You can use DeepColorCorrect to create a matte by setting the gain value for your alpha channel to 0 and setting the offset value to 1 in the range you want the matte for.

There are control sets for adjusting shadows, midtones and highlights. You can use the lookup curves on the Ranges tab to control these.

Inputs and Controls

Connection Type	Connection Name	Function
Input	unnamed	The deep image sequence to receive the color correction. This can also be a DeepMerge node with merged deep data.

Control (UI)	Knob (Scripting)	Default Value	Function
DeepColorCorrect Tab
master
saturation	saturation	1	Adjusts the saturation in the entire image.
contrast	contrast	1	Adjusts the contrast in the entire image.
gamma	gamma	1	Adjusts the gamma in the entire image.
gain	gain	1	Adjusts the gain in the entire image.
offset	offset	0	Adjusts the offset in the entire image.
shadows
saturation	shadows.saturation	1	Adjusts the saturation in the darkest parts of the image.
contrast	shadows.contrast	1	Adjusts the contrast in the darkest parts of the image.
gamma	shadows.gamma	1	Adjusts the gamma in the darkest parts of the image.
gain	shadows.gain	1	Adjusts the gain in the darkest parts of the image.
offset	shadows.offset	0	Adjusts the offset in the darkest parts of the image.
midtones
saturation	midtones.saturation	1	Adjusts the saturation in the middle range of the image.
contrast	midtones.contrast	1	Adjusts the contrast in the middle range of the image.
gamma	midtones.gamma	1	Adjusts the gamma in the middle range of the image.
gain	midtones.gain	1	Adjusts the gain in the middle range of the image.
offset	midtones.offset	0	Adjusts the offset in the middle range of the image.
highlights
saturation	highlights.saturation	1	Adjusts the saturation in the highlights of the image.
contrast	highlights.contrast	1	Adjusts the contrast in the highlights of the image.
gamma	highlights.gamma	1	Adjusts the gamma in the highlights of the image.
gain	highlights.gain	1	Adjusts the gain in the highlights of the image.
offset	highlights.offset	0	Adjusts the offset in the highlights of the image.
Masking Tab
mix	mix	1	Dissolves between the original image at 0 and the full color correction at 1.
zmap A, B, C, D	zmap	0, 1, 1, 1	Sets how much of the color correction to use at various depths. The x axis represents the distance from the camera, and the y axis the fraction of the color correction to use (where 0 is none and 1 is the full effect).
limit_z	limit_z	disabled	When enabled, allows dissolving between the original image and the full color correction depending on the depth of the samples, using the zmap control.
Ranges Tab
test	test	disabled	Lets you overlay the output with black, gray, or white to show what is considered to be in the shadows, midtones, or highlights. Green and magenta indicate a mixture of ranges.
curve editor	lookup	N/A	You can use the shadow and highlight lookup curves to edit the range of the image that is considered to be in the shadows or highlights. You can also look up color information for the current pixel in the Viewer. WARNING: DO NOT adjust the midtone curve. Midtones are always equal to 1 minus the other two curves.
reset	N/A	N/A	Return the selected curve(s) to the default values.
