I ask because I have an issue trying to go from Rec709 into Davinci Wide Gamut (timeline/working color space) and back to Rec709 without my clip getting muddy and highlights getting flattened out.
My project level management is set to Davinci YRGB, timeline is DWG-intermediate, and output color space is Rec 709/2.4
In my node graph I am using CSTs to move a few different sources into DWG, one of which is Sony Cine2 - and I am treating that as Rec 709 for color space and gamma. If I just bring the clip in it looks fine, but if I round-trip it through CST nodes from R709>DWG>R709 my highlights are getting flattened out and the image gets muddy unless I disable Tone Mapping on the final CST - but I thought I should have that on to account for any out-of-gamut work I might do in the grading between in/out CSTs?
It seems to me that the DWG>R709 tone mapping is maybe happening twice when I use it with the CST - once there, and then again at the project level. Is that true?
If I am using my project level settings as Timeline/DWG and Output/R709, is it even necessary/smart to explicitly do the same round trip at the node level?
