NOTE
In a workgroup environment, these ctf files must be duplicated or the Shared Path must be configured
in Colour Management Preferences to point to a common directory to make the colour space available
to the other workstations.
In Auto mode, the rules are resolved at import to assign a colour space to the clip. If you update your
rules, you can go into Pre-processing options for already imported clips and reselect "From File or Rules"
from the Input Colour Space menu in order to get the latest colour space from the updated rules.
User Colour Spaces must be manually archived, as well as LUTs or Colour Transforms that are outside
of the SynColor distribution. A warning to this effect is displayed upon archive.
Available Input Colour Spaces
The following input color spaces are available by default. You can use other spaces by creating user transforms.

video cameras. Note that almost no
cameras actually use this encoding.
However, this is very similar to a gamma
between 1.8 and 2.2, so it might be
useful if you have images encoded with
a gamma of about 2.0 or to get a useful
video-like contrast boost due to the dif-
ference between the in- put and view
transforms.
