Re: Combustion 2008 - colour warper

Hi Ken!

Thanks for responding!

I've tried your suggestion and found out this:

1. As long as I don't save the workspace everything works fines exept the 0-512 histogram scale on 32bit float colors - viewport is ok I only would expect 0-1 scale...

2. If I load a workspace the color warper gamma/luma values are corrupt and the tones are mapped near black.

3. I can't make adjustments zu the color warper sliders - after reseting the node everything ist fine again, but CC settings are gone.

4. If I apply a color warper node set it to "Sel 1" in the secondaries set the key to the hole image and do a coorection - saving and reloading the workspace - setting "Sel 1" active again: I have the same effect as on the master - gamma/luma corrupt...

5. If I load a workspace with corrupt color warper settings and switch to a unused secondary - viewport and histogram returns to normal conditions. But I think this is normal because it's like assigning a new node without corrupt gamma/luma settings or doing a reset - no corrupt values are saved in the workspace for a unused secondary...

6. I cant get it working with a stacked second color warper node as a work around because every channel I use Master or Sel 1 or 2 or 3 gets corrupted on save.

7. Exporting the color warper settings as external ".cbs" is working fine but not a work around because I can't reload hundreds of color warper settings manualy every time after loading a workspace or save them every time a make an adjustment to a color warper node.

--> QUESTION:

If the .cbs file is valid - why is it impossible to fix this and write the correct values to the .cws file??? Would do it by myself but there is no documentation of the .cws format nor a scripting option inside combustion to automate the export of correct color warper settings :-(

can' be impossible to fix this - it's only about some wrong gamma/luma values in a text file...

best Regards

Danko
