Viewers have corresponding nodes that appear in the Node Graph. These nodes do not produce output for rendering; they generate display data only. You can connect Viewer nodes as described in Working with Nodes. In practice, you’ll work faster by using the Viewer hotkeys described below.
| 1. | Select the node whose output you wish to view. |
| 2. | Do one of the following: |
• Using the menu bar, choose Viewer > Create New Viewer.
• Using the Toolbar, choose Image > Viewer.
• Using a keyboard shortcut, press Ctrl+I (Mac users press Cmd+I).
Nuke connects a Viewer node to the node you selected in step 1, and displays the output of the node in the Viewer panel. You can also insert a Viewer node and set up its first connection by simply pressing 1 over the Node Graph.
