Tim, when I set all my Softimage Color Management Prefs to "off" the colors don't look correct in the region. I am interpreting all the input textures correctly as either sRGB or Linear as needed. I do not have Automatically Correct Color Inputs (Redshift Settings) or Apply Gamma Correction (Pass) enabled. It looks correct when I have all the boxes ticked in the Softimage Color Management prefs.
