Color Inspector
The Color Inspector can only be used in a subview. The Color Inspector shows information
about the color channels of the pixel under the cursor. It will show all channels present, even
the auxiliary channels such as Z buffer, XYZ normals, and UV mapping channels.
The Color Inspector subview for evaluating colors in an image.
Metadata
The content of this subview is based entirely on the amount of metadata in your image. Most
Loaders will give the color space and file path for the image. Much more information can be
displayed if it exists in the image.
The Metadata subview for viewing embedded metadata.
Viewing Selective Channels
When compositing, you often deal with individual color components or channels in an image as
much as you deal with the full RGB color of the entire image. The viewers and subviews can
display the isolated color, alpha, depth channels, and even auxiliary channels that make up
the image.
Viewing Color Channels
The default view is the full RGB color channel, but to change the channel that is displayed you
can use the Channel toolbar button, the viewer’s contextual menu, or keyboard shortcuts.
The Channel toolbar button for switching
between color, alpha, and depth channels.
