The subject of linear color workflow gets bounced around quite a bit when discussing 3D, and less so when discussing compositing and compositing in After EFfects.

In this tutorial we’ll look at some of the problems caused when working in sRGB color space and how we can fix these problems using a linear workflow

Here, James Whiffin shows some Linear Workflow techniques for After Effects users citing some of the problems and issued that are caused simply by working in sRGB color space and then takes a look at how these issues can be fixed by using a linear workflow.

As a side note, there is probably the most thorough look at linear color workflow in After Effects has been from ProLost’s Stu Maschwitz who created a multi- part look at linear workflow in AE7
