The latest release of Davinci Resolve has finally implemented the ACES 1.3 gamut compression transform. The gamut compression transform is the result of the Gamut Mapping Working Group’s work to create a more robust solution to issues with out of gamut colors and the resulting artifacts (loss of texture, intensification of color fringes). The delivered gamut compression transform performs well with wide gamut, high dynamic range, scene-referred content and is robust and invertible.

For this seminar, we have invited Nick Shaw, one of the groups leading contributors, to run through why gamut mapping is needed in ACES (and other) workflows, how the ACES Reference Gamut Compression works, and how it should be used.
