Hi Carl,
I noticed there have been some recent changes/improvements to the color conversion,
assisted by Dennis Couzin.
I would like to pick up one issue that seems to have remained unsolved in some previous
discussions, and where I have a hard time to understand the issue completely myself.
That is, source footage in P3 color space.
More and more people use Adobe products and especially DaVinci Resolve for
editing/grading, and quite a few of them are encouraged to use P3 for their editing,
because they are told this would be the recommended color space for DCI work. Hence I
would like to assume that when creating a final master within that color space, that this
is already in XYZ. But that doesn't seem to be the case?
As more and more people are using RAW cameras with a wider gammut than plain sRGB or
rec709, I think we should address this issue.
There have been a few questions regarding proper P3 conversion on this list before, and I
think they have been left unanswered.
When I google for this, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion. I'm not even sure
wether P3 in DaVinci Resolve could be only a preview colourspace that is used when
suitable display devices are connected.
Maybe Dennis can help in solving that puzzle as well?
