Rendering > Render Settings > Display Output
In the Display Output tab, several parameters can be defined globally for color, histogram, and visual support.
Once you're finished customizing the render settings, use the Render Summary for a summary of things, such as total renders and files, and more. When finished setting attributes, use the buttons, at the bottom of the module to start image calculations.
As of 2022.3, these color management options are available in both VRED Design and Professional.
Monitor Color Space - Sets the color management information. Choose a color space options:
Simple Gamma - Provides a simple uniform gamma correction. This exposes finer details in shadows, using non-linear encoding.
sRGB IEC 61966-21 - Provides a color space according to the sRGB standard.
A.RGB 98 - Provides a larger color gamult (than sRGB IEC 61966-21) according to Adobe RGB 98, which includes the CIE chromaticity coordinates for the green primary x and y.
Monitor ICC Profile - Uses the color space specified in the ICC profile set in the preferences under color management.
To set paths to custom color profile files (.icc) for color mapping that are project-independent, see Color Management Preferences. Once everything is setup correctly, each system will have its own ICC profile that matches the monitor attached to the system. When a scene is loaded, it will look the same on each system.
Simple Gamma - Only available when Simple Gamma is set. Use this to set the gamma correction. Increasing the gamma will expose finer differences in shadows and darker tones.
Improve Color Depth - Increases the range of effect and correction commands for the color depth.
Dynamic Tonemapping - Adjusts the exposure dynamically, based on the average brightness of the image. Use this when visualizing a car's interior that too dark. Use this tool to adapt the exposure of the camera automatically to compensate for this. This tool is sometimes referred to as auto-exposure or eye adaptation (similar to how the eye adapts, once you enter a dark room).
Shows the relative color distribution of the rendered image. This tool is useful to detect overly bright areas of light. Different modes are available. It can use logarithmic and linear display scales.
Show Histogram - Enables each color distribution to be viewed separately.
Enable Red Channel - Shows histogram of red image channel.
Enable Green Channel - Shows histogram of green image channel.
Enable Blue Channel - Shows histogram of blue image channel.
Enable Grayscale - Shows the luminance histogram of the rendered image.
Logarithmic Scale - Uses a logarithmic scale for the histogram values.
Show Snapshot Frame - Draws a yellow frame into Render View, indicating the target image to be rendered. After activation, all the following settings are available.
Show Render Region Frame - Draws a green frame into the Render View dependent on the values of the region start XY and region end XY input fields.
Show Rule of Thirds Guide - Draws orange guide lines into Render View, allowing to use the rule of thirds.
Show Inner Frame - Draws an orange frame in the Render View, indicating the area where text or graphics show neatly.
Unit - Defines the distance unit of the inner frame by percent or in pixels.
Left - Right - Sets the distance of the left and right side.
Top - Bottom - Sets the distance of the top and bottom side.
