Couple more examples. The Lightroom one is the darker image. Both LR and Color.io are completely reset, no settings applied. I have also tried deleting and re-adding the images but they always turn out this way. I am using Raw Standard input and sRGB output, but i have also tried many other combinations there and still get the same results.
Hi @clay1304 - thanks for sending these files. I'm pretty sure this is due to how all RAW files are currently being interpreted in Color.io. Essentially color.io interprets the files with a logarithmic gamma, similar to what cinema cameras are doing and this raises the shadows pretty dramatically. It won't add any noise that's not in the file to begin with, it simply lifts the shadows and brings existing noise and artifacts to light. Lightroom is most definitely doing the opposite and applying some automatic noise reduction to the shadows which color.io does not do. There also seem to be other auto exposure compensations going on in Lightroom. In color.io you would have to perform any exposure compensation or lowering the shadows to suppress the noise floor manually until I figure out a better way to do this. :D
@monokee Ahh I didn't know that about Lightroom! Thanks for the response!
