When you open a scene saved in version 2015 or earlier, the color profiles used by File textures are converted to the corresponding color space.
| This Color Profile... | ... becomes this Color Space. |
|---|---|
| Linear sRGB | scene-linear Rec 709/sRGB |
| sRGB | sRGB |
| Linear Rec. 709 | scene-linear Rec 709/sRGB |
| HDTV (Rec. 709) | camera Rec 709 |
| CIE XYZ | scene-linear CIE XYZ |
| Any other value | sRGB |
Image planes had no color management in version 2015 or earlier. They default to sRGB.
Color management is automatically activated if it was enabled previously. However, you still need to set the other preferences as desired (see Configure color management).
The defaultViewColorManager node is still available in scenes for compatibility. However, its options are not used.
