Hello Peter,
I think the first “complaints” arrived around the 9th of March 2017 as this post seems to indicate.
Then, the Output Transform VWG has tried for the past 18 months (since December 2020) to find solutions to improve the current ones.
I have tried to list here all the issues I know of with he current ones :
And here are several threads having a look at other aspects that were discussed and investigated :
- Gamut Mapping Part 2
- Look Transforms
- Choose-Your-Own Approach
- HDR intent for Output Transform
- ACES background document
- ZCAM for Nuke
- Output Transform Tone Scale
- Human perception VS Filmic reproduction
I cannot resist to share my favorite quote from the OT VWG : I cannot understand why anybody would like to limit all of their productions to use the same output transform. It would be the same as limiting the Production to use a single camera. Documentaries, features, animation, hand drawn, all of them have their unique challenges.
Regards,
Chris
