I'm grading a feature now using the LUT approach I outlined in the earlier post. I was actually going to try ACES on this one, but... I'm not handling the render myself, and we need a proper render for DCP. For me, the safest bet was to work entirely in REC709, gamma 2.4, to avoid any confusion for the output to P3/DCI for DCP.
This is one of the problems of Aces. In what collaborative workflow is concerned, all the people involved in the chain
Have to be used of Aces workflow otherwise there are unexpected problems.
For many, if not most, it remains oscur to date and still a work in progress before it becomes implemented
Everywhere and as natural as breathing.
I see gazillion tutos packed with mistakes that I don't do myself any longuer, from the very beginning of their workflows, done by people who are supposed to know; it does not bring any confidence on the credit one can assign to the online tutos on Aces. In the end, very few really know
And the rest are guessing.
Resolve IMO has embrassed it differently than Baselight and Assimilate at the beginning.
I really do not get the point of their DaVinci flavours.I beleive gamma 2.6. Some pointed that it was supposed to
Give the wheels a natural control/feel but from my experience they are almost unmanegable for being too sensitive.
And it breaks the all idea of Aces.
As far as I'm concerned, I see the potential but not become obssessed with it.
Color is complicated enough not to ad more complications on something that is designed to simplify/unify.
And as you point, in the end the audience will never ever realise the super wide color space and its wonders.
Just us that we are mentaly sick with our toys.
