Are there any plans to fix the various color management issues that exist for over a year now?
Examples: * Any TextureNode in BI delivers the managed result, even if it is supposed to be a bump or normal map. It doesn't have an linear/color option like cycles does. * 8bit textures/images are treated differently as floating point textures in texture slots or inside the image editor * the image editor displays float images right at the moment, but the values written to the image are managed, giving wrong displacement. (could also need a button to let the user decide the color space) * and many more, including even alpha channels...
