Does this refer to saving a render in log color space for loading into
software that does not support OpenColorIO? I think it is using the Look
feature for something it was not designed to do, to work around
limitations. The proper solution would be to allow saving images in a
specified color space directly (Filmic Log in the current config?), without
being affected by the display device or view transform.
