What raw decode settings should you use in a RCM workflow. I though raw data was mapped direct in RCM but it appears the RED and cinemaDNG decode settings get applied as well. I found decoding using camera meta data appears to work the best.
The red decode settings have options for req2020 and 2087 but the cinema DNG doesn't. Its a bit confusing that the decode gamma can interfere with the RCM gamma. A CinemaDNS mapping gamma of 2.4 causes clipping that can't be recovered where as the use camera meta on the same clip preserves the highlights.
