Using FCheck options

Note: As of Maya 2020, FCheck is no longer supported on macOS. You can select a different default image viewer in the Applications preferences (Windows > Settings/Preferences > Preferences).

You execute FCheck options using command lines. The options are typed into the command prompt window/shell when FCheck is executed.

Note: FCheck doesn't save the options that you set after you close the window. You must save the image to disk to retain image modifications and adjustments executed in FCheck. See Save images or sequences.

The standard convention to enter a command line is given below:

fcheck -<option> <spec> myimage.ext

<option>

The FCheck option letter. See FCheck options list.

<spec>

Option-specific parameters.

myimage.ext

The name of the file to load. You must be in the current directory in the command prompt to open the file. On Linux, you must include the filename to the command line. When using Windows, you can omit the filename from the command line.

For example:

fcheck -r 15 

Where r specifies the frame rate option and 15 is the number of frames per second.

You can combine some options together in one command line using the following convention:

fcheck -<option> <spec> -<option> <spec> ... myimage.ext

For example,

fcheck -B -G 1 -r 15 myimage.ext

Where:

-B turns on border around the image.

-G 1 sets gamma value to 1.

-r 15 sets frame rate to 15 frames per second.
