Description

This is not a bug report, but a question: does it make sense that after performing the camera RGB -> pipeline working RGB conversion, colorin converts the data to Lab? I assume that in the scene-referred pipeline most modules that are likely to immediately follow colorin expect RGB as input, immediately forcing a conversion from Lab to pipeline working RGB.
