Note: The Truelight VLUT control in the Viewer shelf lets you set the Viewer’s lookup
table to use calibration profiles that you can create with the TLCalibrate node, or that
are created using Truelight’s monitor probe. Use the Load Viewer Lookup Controls into
Parameters1 Tab command to make adjustments to the Truelight VLUT parameters. For
more information on using Truelight, see the Truelight documentation, located in the
Documentation folder on the Shake installation disc.

Important:

Currently there is no version control of the Viewer script. If you extend the

functionality of existing Viewer scripts that may have been saved in existing Shake
scripts, you should rename the new version of the Viewer script to something other
than the original name.

Using the Viewer’s Domain of Definition (DOD)

The Viewer Domain of Definition (DOD) limits the area of the image that is rendered to
the interior of a user-definable rectangle, in order to reduce the amount of unnecessary
processing. For example, if you are doing a head replacement, you may want to
activate the Viewer DOD and limit the Domain of Definition to a box surrounding just
the head, eliminating the need for your computer to render the rest of the image.

When using the Viewer DOD, keep the following in mind:

The Viewer DOD limits the rendering area on the Viewer, but does not affect the
output image.

Display DOD displays the green internal DOD box associated with each node and the
red frame boundary (does not affect processing).

The following image has both the VLUT 2 and the Viewer DOD applied.
