Dealing with Aces , AGX, Srgb

Here’s a comparison between the current version of AgX punchy and the first version:




This is the code of the old version
name: AgX - Punchy Kraken
process_space: AgX Log
description: A punchy and more chroma laden look
transform: !<CDLTransform> {power: [1.35, 1.35, 1.35], sat: 1.4}
And here's the code of the current version
name: AgX - Punchy
process_space: AgX Log
description: A darkening punchy look
transform: !<GroupTransform>
  children:
	- !<GradingToneTransform>
	 shadows: {rgb: [0.2, 0.2, 0.2], master: 0.35, start: 0.4, pivot: 0.1}
	- !<CDLTransform> {power: [1.0912, 1.0912, 1.0912]}

The contrast value decreased on Eary’s first commit on his version of AgX. Why did this happen? My guess is because his version was already more chroma-laden.

Also, I believe the current High contrast look is close to Troy’s punchy look, albeit with more exposure and less saturation.

High contrast look snippet
style: log
contrast: {rgb: [1.4, 1.4, 1.4], master: 1}
saturation: 0.95
pivot: {contrast: -0.2}
