Filmic tonemap – Contains different types of mapping curves and gamma corrections. Also allows selection of a color space;.
Lookup Table – Allows loading a LUT file for color transformations;.
Curves – Adds a Curves color correction layer;.
Color Balance – Adds a Color Balance color correction layer;.
Hue/Saturation – Adds a Hue/Saturation color correction layer;.
White Balance – Adds a White Balance color correction layer;.
Exposure – Adds an Exposure color correction layer;.
Constant – Adds  – Adds a solid color that can be used to achieve an effect on another layer (for example to multiply by the constant);.
Render Element  – Selects a render element (with ability to apply mask on it) from your image that you can use in compositing. This is only available when the the Source layer  layer is set to to Composite;.
Background – Adds a background color correction layer;.
MultiMatte mask element Mask  – Mask is based on the MultiMatte Render Element;.
Cryptomatte mask element Mask  – Mask is based on the Cryptomatte Render Element;.
Integer mask element Mask  – Mask is used with integer render elements like Render ID, Object ID, and Material ID Render Elements;.
Proportion Guide  – Allows for a number of composition guides to be overlaid on the image. The available guides are Rule of ThirdsDiagonalsGolden RatioCenter Cross, and Custom Grid.

This correction allows you remap the image colors with a Bezier curve. The control also allows you to save and load .acv curve files from Adobe Photoshop.

Controlling the View

Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the curve view. Drag with the middle mouse button to pan.

Controlling the Bezier Points

Click on a point to select it. Draw a rectangle to select multiple points at once. Click and drag on a selected point or its tangents to move them. To add a new point, Ctrl+click on the curve. To delete points, select them and press Del, or alternatively Shift+click on a point. Once a point is selected, you can also use the input coordinates field to modify its position. To display the input coordinates field, either press Enter or right-click on the point and then select Edit point.

Right-click on a point to bring up a context menu with additional options for that point.

Background

This layer allows you to add a background to your rendering.

Opacity– Controls the layer opacity.

Color

 

– Picks a solid color to be used as background.

File – Loads a file that is going to be used as a background. Image sequences can be loaded as well using the <frameNum> tag.

Recent – Lists recently used files.

Stretch – Controls the aspect ratio of the image by stretching the image to fit the VFB.

Fit – Keeps the aspect ratio of the image. Enlarges or shrinks the VFB to fit the image.

Fill – Keeps the aspect ratio of the image and cuts some parts of the picture to fill the VFB.

Horizontal offset – Controls the background image position by the X axis.

Vertical offset – Controls the background image position by the Y axis.

As foreground – When enabled, the image loaded in the field above is used as a foreground. This means that the image is on top of the rendering and you are able to see the rendering only if the image has an alpha channel.

Save in image – When enabled, saves the layer to the image.

Color Transformation – This dropdown allows display corrections to be applied to the Background layer independently.

Auto – Recognizes what the desired transformation would be based on the image suffix (_srgb, _lin_srgb, _acescg...) and sets those settings automatically.
Manual – Allows manual setup of the color transformation options. The options can be left at Auto and be determined automatically by V-Ray. The options can be set to None and apply no transformations.

RGB color space – Choose which color space to use for the color transformations. sRGB is the color space for most monitors and computer displays. ACEScg allows for greater range of color transformations in post. It has a wider gamut of colors than the sRGB linear gamut.
Transfer function – Alters the pixel values to a new range. Gamma 2.2 is the standard for most monitors.

OCIO – Allows an Input color space to be selected when an OCIO profile is already loaded. OCIO profiles can be loaded through the Display Correction Layer.

Input color space – Determines the input color space for the background image; normally this is a raw (linear color space) as V-Ray internally works in that space.

The V-Ray Masks are used to refine only selected parts of the rendered image in the VFB. They can be applied to Color correction layers, the Lens Effects layer, the Denoiser layer and also to Folders in the VFB layers tree.

When one or more masks are applied to the same layer or folder, a mask icon is placed in front of it in the layer tree to signify its presence. The parameters of each mask are available in their own separate tabs to the Properties of the masked layer or folder.

When a folder or a layer has mask(s), the Show masks' preview when selectedoption is available in the Parameters Tab of the respective folder/layer. This option shows a preview of the masks elements when selected.

For more information on masks, see the Masks page.
