Hi! Since it is planned for 0.64.1 to fix the "gamma issue" I asked to Timotheé Giet for help on that matter.
I would like to write down a blueprint for color management in Synfig (and then fix the weirdness of the hardcored gamma) but due to my lack of knowledge I needed external help. The idea is to do a first draft and refine it once I understand better what's done currently in the code and what should be done in general. Inputs are welcome! Cheers PS: Below are attached the emails we have got. =================================== 2013/5/7 Carlos López González <genet...@gmail.com> > Hi Timothée! > First of all thanks for take your time on write down the first draft on > color management for Synfig!
