Cloned Node Naming
Cloned nodes are automatically named OriginalNode_CloneN, where N is the number of
clones that have been made. You can clone a node as many times as you want, and all
cloned nodes are linked to the original node. In the following screenshot, the Gamma1
node has been cloned twice, in order to apply an identical gamma correction to the
other two images in the tree.
The links between cloned nodes can be viewed by turning on ShowExpressionLInks in
the enhancedNodeView subtree of the Parameters tab. (and then turning on
enhancedNodeView).
Monitor Calibration With Truelight
Shake includes Truelight, a color management system that lets you simulate on your
Shake preview monitor, as closely as possible, the image that will eventually be printed
to film or displayed on a high definition monitor or projector. This simulation is based
on calibration data acquired from a variety of film stocks, film recorders, monitors,
digital projectors, and film projectors, and on calibration profiles that you can generate
yourself.
There are three parts to the Truelight tools:
• TLCalibrate, in the Other tab, is a utility node that you can use to accurately calibrate
your monitor’s color characteristics. This node allows you to create a calibration
profile by eyeballing adjustments to a series of ten images using the controls within
this node. Once you’ve made your adjustments, you can save this profile for future
use.
Note: This node also allows you to use calibration profiles generated by a Truelight
Monitor probe.
