Luma Matte compositing node

Sets the alpha to the luminance of the color.

Old network

As of Houdini 20.5, use Copernicus nodes instead of Compositing nodes. Though both networks still exist, the Compositing network is now designated as COP Network - Old. The Compositing network and its nodes will be deprecated and then removed in a future Houdini release.

Lumamatte computes the luminance of the color image, and stores it in the alpha matte.

Note

A similar operation can be done with the Channel Copy COP.

Parameters

LumaMatte

Luminance Range

Allows you to extract a subrange of the luminance and fit it to the 0-1 range of the alpha matte.

Redo Premultiply

If on, the image will first be divided by the original alpha, and then multiplied by the new alpha.

Apply Premultiplies To

Only redo the Premultiplication on these planes (normally color).
