Makes sense. I’m sure I’ll have some blender-specific questions soon.
Thanks again for all the help, your plan is working. I used to think “linear workflow” and going to/from the sRGB Transfer Function was the whole story. Then I started working in VFX and learned about log spaces and still always wondered why it was so hard to get to scene-linear in compositing. (Answer: because the camera’s scene linear color space and CG’s scene linear were not the same).
I’m not currently working with camera footage (but do have to be aware of authoring HDR content) and reading through the 10+ pages and various articles has been well worth it. Haha, now I think it’s time to go re-calibrate and profile my monitors
