Make a two sided material, w/ normals pointing away from camera creating surface invisible/transparent (Opacity 0).

"Input Color Profile" should be set in accordance to used sources...
Do provide an exemplary scene file, exposing the issue.

Here's bit older tut on "Linear Workflow for Gamma Correct Lighting in Cinema 4D". (still relevant). So it's all in the balance. You can observe same behavior in 3DS Max, and somewhat in photography/film.
An advice and a tip:
Some sort of practical example, a comparative study, would help you (and others) ...Also check out: The Corona Physical Material in 3ds Max @YouTube (Download 3D scene here).
BTW.
You can modify any texture/image map to your taste (either via "Filter" or "Color Correct" 'shaders'. But it all depends on file format and intent of use (albedo, diffuse, bump, displace...) and thus correct Gamma (Articles @polycount)
PS
If you intend to practice and get help or critique, make another thread in proper section.

If you can't use any other engine, best is to compose it (take center area and make it smaller; iterate).
Note, when rendering,
ray depth depends on the size of the image - the larger the image, more depth is needed (as goes for Texel density.See attached*)
Finally, IMHO, it'd be of great use for advanced users, if such options as ray depths, volume priorities, photons (+domain), ... were simply exposed.

Took it for a spin and here are my thoughts, if you wish to consider.
It's extremely slow feature (compute heavy) still leaving some noise. Takes extra attention (observation & knowledge, thinking about solution, settings...) so in cases alike I prefer Intel's OIDN to solve such issues in final render (or to composite in post), thus I'd rather see updated OIDN to last version ;)
But, may this feature become standard part of Corona, I'd prefer to see and set it in Camera (tag) under DOF.
Finally, I wonder (rhetorically), is development of such perks worth it, since there's so many other stuff to fix and make better, faster, more convenient...
... What happened with "effortless UX" principle.
Anyways, have a good weekend.
