Are Color Management View Transform and Look baked into the renders?

Support Lighting and Rendering

Just double checking here, but if I’m rendering out to EXR, then Color Management is bypassed right? I mean EXR should be encoded in Linear Gamma, so picking any look such as High Contrast or Filmic or Standard shouldn’t have any effect or be baked into my final EXR file and it’s just for the benefit of the Viewport right? Right?!?

Yes saving as EXR will save the image as linear without any color management applied

Thank you.

I did run a couple of tests and the EXR’s looked identical in my compositing software whether the look was on High Contrast or None. Good to know.
