Subject: Urgent Cineon export questions

It's been years since I delivered log cineon file and sleep deprived brain is not working. Client is asking for:

" DPX (Cineon) format, 10 bit color, P3-D65 color space"

I confirmed they want log not linear. My project is 16-bit, I've set it to P3- D65 color space. Export will be CC 2014 (for speed). I assume Cineon export still does conversion linear to log since there is checkbox still for "logarithmic conversion" which I've check and set unit to 16-bit.

However, unclear on if anything else from "full range preset" needs to be adjusted e.g. ' current gamma is 1" - should that not be 2.4 (which was my calibration target)?

Googling shows people doing all sorts of thing.

Stephen

Importing troublesome projects has saved me many times.
