Using the Compare Buffers
You can use the A and B buffers in the Viewer to load two images at once. The
following example uses two images from Tutorial 5, “Using Keylight,” in the Shake 4
Tutorials book.
To load two images at once into the A and B compare buffers:
1 Using two FileIn nodes, read in two images from the “Using Keylight” tutorial.
The images are located in the $HOME/nreal/Tutorial_Media/Tutorial_05/images
directory.
2 In the Viewer, ensure that buffer A is open.
3 Load one of the tutorial images into the Viewer by clicking the left side of the node.
The Viewer indicator appears on the left side of the node, and the node’s image is
loaded into the Viewer.
