Add pure gamma 2.2 display to ACES configs #56

Open sharktacos opened 2 years ago

Proposing adding a pure gamma 2.2 display to the ACES configs (CG and Studio) alongside the existing sRGB (Piece-Wise) display. FWIW, this would parallel the "Gamma 2.2/Rec 709" display in the default Maya config.

As many folks have noted, it seems like a safer bet generally for CG/VFX artists to use a pure gamma 2.2 display to avoid crushed shadows.

Hi @sharktacos,

We will be discussing about that post-Siggraph!

Cheers,

We discussed this at the most recent configs working group meeting and decided to limit ourselves to the displays defined by the ACES 1.3 release, for this upcoming initial release of the configs. However, it is a valid request and so we should probably leave the issue open. Maybe we will get more feedback on this topic and will revisit for a future release.

In the meantime, it would be simple to add such a display color space to the ACES configs. OCIO already has a Built-in Transform for it. The style string to use is "DISPLAY - CIE-XYZ-D65_to_G2.2-REC.709".
