How to bake the colour corrections into the outputfile

Hi all,
Im so sorry for this annoying question.

I have a LUT and some colour corrections in the VFB and would like to bake them in on save.

I just want to output a jpg or tiff to make a catalogue but the CC does not bake in. I forgot how to do it.

Thanks

Is it “Copy current channel to clipboard” and then just paste into photoshop?

You can use that, yes. However, if you are using the backround image feature in the VFB, it will not copy the background. I adressed this here, but didn’t get a reply so far: Copying current channel from VFB: Copy background as well - Requests - Chaos Forum

That’s right, I was not able to copy the BG. Would be cool if there were a simpler way. It would be cool to be able to export the VFB CC stack to PS. Thanks

You actually can export a .cube with all the corrections from the VFB. However, I couldn’t find a way to reproduce the exact same output with that .cube in PS. I hate that piece of software…

Oh I see. I just found that PSD manager should be able to do it

so is it not possible to save a jpg sequence with baked LUT corrections?
in this instance, would i have to save as 32bit EXR and then apply LUT in post? but even then it’s not possible to get the exact result as in the VFB when applying the same LUT file anyway?
saving out thousands of EXRs is going to take quite a bit of storage…
