The goal of color management is to get a consistent reproduction of color, no matter where or when it is reproduced. So grab a drink, a healthy snack and I’ll walk you through the basics of color management.ĬONTENTS: The goal | Step 1: RGB vs CMYK (additive vs subtractive) | Step 2: Which RGB? Which CMYK? | Step 3: gamut | Step 4: Translations | Step 5: Rendering intents | Step 6: Black point compensation | Step 7: Calibration, profiling | New kid on the block | That’s all folks! | Why is this important? That’s what I would like to do in this article. But too many people can not or will not explain it in easy terms. Don’t run away! The concept of ‘ICC based color management’ is not that difficult. You can select either Save Color-Managed Image to convert and save or Save Raw Image to keep the rendering space settings (linear).In preparation of a future article, I should explain you the basic of color management. When saving images, convert to the appropriate color space. For images produced in other color spaces, you need to add a rule. This will convert sRGB images to the rendering space you selected. Under Input Color Space Rules, select Default. This will ensure that the correct colors will display. If you change these settings in the middle of the process, the colors can change drastically.įor View Transform, select the correct color space for your project.
It's important to choose the rendering space which you wil use for the final output. When creating a new scene, this is automatically turned on.įor Rendering Space, select scene-linear Rec 709/sRGB. Under Settings > Preferences, open Color Management and check the box for Enable Color Management. For external renders such as V-ray, verification is required separately. Color management is supported by Maya hardware 2.0 and Arnold Renderer.
Here, we show you how to change color management settings using Autodesk Maya 2017. These steps will help you to achieve consistent color management in your 3DCG workflow.
