The Settings tab in the Inspector is also duplicated in other Color nodes. These common

OCIO Color Space [OCC]
The OCIOColorspace node
OCIO Color Space Node Introduction
Fusion supports the Open Color IO color management workflow by way of three OCIO nodes.
The OCIO CDL Transform node allows you to create, save, load, and apply a Color
Decision List (CDL) grade.
The OCIO Color Space allows sophisticated color space conversions, based on an
OCIO config file.
The OCIO File Transform allows you to load and apply a variety of Lookup tables
(LUTs).
Generally, the OCIO color pipeline is composed from a set of color transformations defined by
OCIO-specific config files, commonly named with a “.ocio” extension. These config files allow
you to share color settings within or between facilities. The path to the config file to be used is
normally specified by a user-created environment variable called “OCIO,” though some tools
allow overriding this. If no other *.ocio config files are located, the DefaultConfig.ocio file in
Fusion’s LUTs directory is used.
For in-depth documentation of the format’s internals, please refer to the official pages on
opencolorio.org.
Sample configs can be obtained from opencolorio.org/downloads.html
The functionality of the OCIO Color Space node is also available as a View LUT node from the
View LUT menu.
Inputs
The OCIO Color Space node includes two inputs: one for the main image and the other for an
effect mask to limit the area where the color space conversion is applied.
Input: This orange input is the only required connection. It connects a 2D image for
the color space conversion.
Effect Mask: The optional blue effect mask input accepts a mask shape created
by polylines, basic primitive shapes, paint strokes, or bitmaps from other tools.
Connecting a mask to this input limits the color space conversion to only those pixels
within the mask. An effect mask is applied to the tool after it is processed.
