Bake a Color Transform¶
Problem¶
You have an image file with an Alexa LogC LUT. You want to bake the Alexa LUT to prepare the files for display.
Solution¶
Use the Draft.LUT
class:
import Draft
inFile = '/path/to/input.exr'
outFile = '/path/to/output.exr'
img = Draft.Image.ReadFromFile( inFile )
lut = Draft.LUT.CreateAlexaV3LogC().Inverse()
lut.Apply( img )
img.WriteToFile( outFile )
Discussion¶
To create the LUT, we call Draft.LUT.CreateAlexaV3LogC()
. The resulting LUT will convert an image from Linear to Alexa V3 Log C. This is the opposite of what we want, so we use the Inverse()
method. This method returns a new LUT that will convert an image from Alexa V3 Log C to Linear, which is what we need.
We apply the LUT to the image:
lut.Apply( img )
before we WriteToFile()
.
Draft includes several LUTs in addition to Alexa V3 Log C:
LUT | Draft command |
---|---|
Cineon | Draft.LUT.CreateCineon() |
Alexa V3 Log C | Draft.LUT.CreateAlexaV3LogC() |
sRGB | Draft.LUT.CreateSRGB() |
Rec. 709 | Draft.LUT.CreateRec709() |
Gamma correction | Draft.LUT.CreateGamma() |
