sRGB Gamma 2.2 Delivery

Someone on my team has to deliver something in sRGB/Gamma of 2.2. Since he’s used to working in Rec709, we talked about keeping it in Rec until it’s time to export. Then we’d use a color transform when exporting…like below. Any reason not to do it that way since we’d really only be affecting gamma? Or is there a more efficient way? We’re on 2026.1.
Thanks in advance!

@john-geehreng , I think you have the invert checkboxes inverted. Using Custom mode can be very error-prone unless you’re an expert, which is why I always try to steer people towards using either the Input Transform or View Transform tools. This is how I would recommend doing it:

I was going to suggest to use a View Transform but I guess in this scenario Input or View works equally well?

@BenV , the View Transform tool is generally for converting from a scene-linear or log color space to a video color space. In other words, when a tone-map (e.g., an ACES view transform) needs to be applied.

In this case, it’s already in Rec.709 and the goal is to simply translate that same colorimetry from one color space encoding to another. So an Input Transform (aka, a Color Space Transform in OCIO terminology) is most appropriate.

Ah yes I see, makes sense thanks!

The View Transform does work in this scenario(in my defense, lol), :slight_smile:

But not necessarily appropriate and could get one into trouble in another scenario.

This worked perfectly, thanks Doug!
