Hi… I m trying to convert a zdepth to a color, Im using a channelcopy node right now but I doesnt work.

Make sure your Color plane is a 32b Floating point plane, otherwise all you'll see is white.

I have the same problem. I have a pic with 32b Floating point plane C. A and Pz, looks fine in H10 but can't copychannel Pz to C. Just get a white picture.
In H11 I see something strange as a red picture. What am I doing wrong?

Try adapting the viewer to the full pixel range (Shift+R). COPs does not remap your Z values to 0-1, it leaves them at near->far. It correctly identifies Pz as a depth plane and does this adapt for you, but when you transfer this data to a Color channel, this no longer happens as color channels are not auto-adapted.

Ha I must be a very stupid man ;o)
- Shift+R wow I can see it
- using a bright to adjust
- export to TGA ;o( still nothing…

One more world about exporting for having a mask in Photoshop?

The “Adapt to Pixel Range” is just for visualizing the data. If you'd like to actually map it to a range that can be exported in a TGA file, use a default Equalize COP. Note that you'll lose a lot of precision because a Targa is an 8b format.

thanks a lot. I've got a 8Bit TGA. It's only to blur a little in Z in Photoshop.

Have a nice Houdini-day
