	* ~~For editing most of the time~~ we do use ~~Premiere which does not support a~~ ACES ~~workflow at~~ the ~~moment, by the time~~ it ~~does... We~~ will ~~need to do a preconversion of all takes into ACES on set or before we go into editing~~.		* To make our life easier we will only use ACES in parts of the Pipeline where it will help us the most.

	# ~~After editing~~ we ~~take all needed source materials and convert them via Resolve into linear~~ ACES ~~EXR files~~.		# Editing, Flame and Davinci will stay in our typical REC709 world and we do not need to use OCIO or ACES.
	# ~~In the next step we render all takes in the edit and create shots in Shotgun~~ for ~~each required VFX shot (backplates~~ need to be ~~sorted into the right folder structure).~~		# Backplates which are needed for adding effects or paintjobs going thru Nuke need to be exported as unclamped REC709 encoded EXR files (float 16/32bit)
	~~# The linear ACES~~ files ~~are then conformed in Flame and Resolve for the next steps~~ (~~grading and conforming~~)		# In Nuke we will then transform them into linear ACES files to comp them with our 3D files.
	# In ~~the VFX pipeline~~ we ~~use those~~ linear files to ~~do all VFX work. For viewing the output we use the sRGB or Rec709 conversion~~.		# Comp renderings need to be converted back into the same colorspace as they have been delivered. (90% of the time this will be REC709).
	# ~~3D and comp~~ renderings ~~are rendered out only~~ into ~~linear ACES~~.~~exr files. Only~~ the ~~latestJPG saver~~ will ~~have a preview conversion into sRGB or Rec709~~.		# At the end of the project we render out a sRGB/Rec709 converted Master for sendout and the client.
	# At the end of the project we render out a sRGB/Rec709 converted Master for sendout and the client~~. Besides that we render a linear ACES Master for our archive~~.
	<br />		<br />
	~~<br />~~
	~~<br />~~
	~~# To sum it up. We try to keep all files in linear space during the whole project and not bake in any sRGB or whatever converion to it.~~

			<br /> Since AFX version 2018 the Adobe guys did a first implementation to support ACES.
			<br /> You can switch it on when you click on the color mode change option in the "Projects" (See image for detailed info)
	<br /> In After Effects you can load the plugin "OpenColorIO" and put it onto an adjustment layer ontop of your comp or footage.		<br /> In After Effects you can load the plugin "OpenColorIO" and put it onto an adjustment layer ontop of your comp or footage.

			The maps exported from SD and SP are in sRGB or gamma-encoded space. They are not exported as linear.

			EXR Textures are also saved as sRGB not as Linear. <<< Pretty shitty!!
