Paste
Lets you paste images from the clipboard into the Picture Viewer.
Channels Menu
Use this menu to control which image channels are displayed in the Picture Viewer. The menu lists
all channels contained in the image — layers are listed also if you have rendered a multi-pass image.
Multi-Layer Display
If this option is enabled, you can enable as many of the channels in the Channels menu as you like;
these enabled channels are combined to form a composite image in the Picture Viewer. If Multi-Layer
Display is disabled, you can enable and see one channel at a time.
Image
If this option is enabled, the composite image is shown in the Picture Viewer.
Alpha
This option appears if the image has an integrated alpha channel. If the option is enabled, the
Picture Viewer displays the image’s alpha channel instead of the image itself.
Components Menu
Red, Green, Blue
CINEMA 4D renders all images using the RGB color system. With these three options, you can lter
out the separate colors. This allows you to check, say, the red separation of a render without needing
to launch a separate image editor.
Grayscale
If you enable this option, the image will be displayed in grayscale. This function is useful for checking
aspects of the render such as contrast, which is generally much easier to judge in a grayscale image
than in a color image.
