Thanks.

Using OCIO and RRT (sRGB) yields the expected result. I guess my confusion was/is with the fact that ACES linear does not produce the result I expected from scene referred linear data, and I was under the impression that one of the main points of ACES is to use the linear light state as the common ground for all colour qworkflows, as it should represent the light data captured on set irrelevant of input output signals.

In other words, I would a have expected ACES linear to be a lot closer to the linear light images I have been working with over the years.

It may just be a case of un-learning things to be able to understand this fully.

Cheers,
frank

doesn't look like anything I see in RawViewer in terms of saturation.
The gamma looks reasonable though.

Any more hints?

ACES uses very saturated primaries (in chromaticity terms), this means that just performing a 1D colour space conversion will result in desaturated looking images. You need to use something like the RRT+ODT to convert to something 'filmic', or at least you need to map from the ACES primaries into the rec709 primaries somehow. You'd need to be careful doing so due to gamut missmatches, which is where a lot of the challenges are.
