Config Merge examples
The goal of this section is to collect examples in support of the discussion around the config merge feature.
For more information about this feature please see the issue or the Google Slides.
Each of the below examples is intended to illustrate one of the use-cases for merging configs. Each example provides a base config, an input config (to be merged into the base), and the expected diff of the base config with the merged config.
-
Modifying the show grading space using roles -- A VFX studio wants to have a base config that may be easily updated to change the config's grading space by updating role definitions.
-
Modifying the show grading space using looks -- A VFX studio wants to have a base config that may be easily updated to change the config's grading space by updating a look's process space.
-
Adding a user viewing LUT -- A novice user has been given an sRGB viewing LUT and wants to add it to the ACES CG config.
-
Adding a user viewing Look -- A novice user has been given an ASC CDL grade and wants to add new views with it to the SDR displays in the ACES CG config.
-
Adding app-required color spaces (ref spaces differ) -- An application needs to add its required color spaces to a user's config. This is an example where the reference spaces of the two configs differ.
