Till now I rendered my images and took them to Photoshop and did some color corrections there. Made aware of Color Management options in Blender by Rick's answer on this question I am now diving somewhat deeper in Color Management in Blender.

I don't want this post to be a dupe, I just want some basic understanding of color management in Blender. How monitor profiles, color spaces and Blender act together. Like I have some basic understanding how working spaces, monitor profiles act together in Photoshop.

  • @poor I have seen that post but that is about monitor calibration and I have a calibrated monitor. Is my question really a dupe ? Hmmm .. perhaps you are right. I did not read the part about hooking the 3D LUT into Blender. Pfff .... heavy stuff –  Mar 23 '16 at 10:20

    Ok, retracted. But it should answer question 3 and 4. Please ask one question at a time. – p2or Mar 23 '16 at 10:24
  • @JanScherders http://displaycal.net/ is certainly not the only option, some other companies will be happy to take your money for what you can do accurately for free using open source. –  Mar 24 '16 at 01:52

    @JanScherders please read: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-6sF9XjjZclJ43NDi4fAelVybeCZpp7mOiA2wpxlitA/edit#slide=id.g11f6dea3e1_0_0 –  Mar 24 '16 at 01:56
  • @cegaton Thanks for the link. After a first read I feel very confused. I have a photography background and I am used to live in the world of monitor profiles, AdobeRGB, Pro Photo. –  Mar 24 '16 at 10:23
  • @JanScherders also read this post: http://blender.stackexchange.com/a/46940/1853 at the end of it there are some links that might interest you. –  Mar 24 '16 at 14:24
  • @JanScherders I would strongly encourage you to try and get a strong grasp on colour management across domains before delving in deep. I am happy to answer questions to the best of my ability, but many issues with colour arise when a software-centric approach is applied thinking it is a singular end-path. Having a firm grasp on the nuts-and-bolts will make it much easier to understand what is going on under the hood, and help avoid critical errors in workflow. – troy_s Mar 24 '16 at 14:45
  • @troy_s I agree. I think I had a reasonable understanding of the colour management world of a photographer but I feel now confronted with whole new concepts. Where to begin ? –  Mar 24 '16 at 14:48
  • @JanScherders You already have. Don't get buried. Try to start with that slide presentation cegaton linked to, and perhaps read the PDF at the VES link http://cinematiccolor.com. Ask questions from there, once you grab onto some of the newer concepts. – troy_s Mar 24 '16 at 14:51
  • @troy_s I will do that. For now ... would It make sense to use a dedicated monitor for motion and configure that in sRGB ? –  Mar 24 '16 at 15:00

    Read through and you will likely have a much better grasp as to how the pieces fit. The short answer is that you can configure things however your pipeline desires. Where you see sRGB is a limitation is purely a small gap in understanding of pipelines and process. – troy_s Mar 24 '16 at 15:04
