Hello,

I hope I'm understanding how to use linear workflow correctly so please forgive me if I don't. From what I understand you are supposed to use linear color space when using a compositor so you can do color correction? If I do not intend to use a compositing application and want to simply use my mantra rendered images directly in production (they are very simple images), how can I make what is rendered in mPlay look the same as what is rendered to disk? Would this be called non-linear space?

Thank you,
Caesar

if you want to store an image in nonlinear space you can set Images/Output/Gamma on Mantra node to 2.2 for example

that is being used to bake the gamma to final image so when saving to nonlinear formats you probably want that
however then, if you are still using the MPlay to preview, make sure that you set gamma in MPlay to 1 as it is already baked in the render
