Disable color management for all scenes

If you never use color management, you can disable it for all scenes using an external color management preferences file.

Warning: Using this method will change the stored color management settings in every scene that you open and resave.

1. Open the Color Management preferences .
2. Turn off Enable Color Management.
3. Click Export CM Pref, and then specify a directory and file name.

Important: Do not overwrite synColorConfig.xml in your Maya prefs/ folder.

Note: To use the same file for multiple machines, set the MAYA_COLOR_MANAGEMENT_POLICY_FILE environment variable to the network path and name of the file.
