Description

When viewing ACEs linear EXR files with embedded color primaries metadata and sampling pixels in RV using the Pixel Inspector, the RGB values returned are converted to linear Rec709 primaries and so don't match pixel values as sampled in other applications such as Nuke or OpenImageIO.

There is no way to disable this conversion.

Research direction

Start at the Pixel Inspector path used when sampling linear EXR files with embedded color-primaries metadata. Trace where sampled RGB values are converted to linear Rec709 and identify how the conversion can be disabled. Done means source pixel values can be viewed without that conversion and match results from Nuke or OpenImageIO.
