Going back to the original topic, I spoke with someone from Blackmagic’s customer support, and he admitted the problem. He also noticed the difference in colors and contrast between the Color and Fusion pages on the Mac version.

Wow! Good job!
I see a huge difference in the mid gray sphere... looks more accurare with sRGB, am I wrong?

Hi burnin,

should I chose "linear" instead of "sRGB" for Cinema "Input color profile"?

The tone mapping in Corona was for "photographic exposure", looks like it affect only general exposure calculation related to camera settings, am I wrong? But I can turn it off, no problem.

Anyhow on Windows you managed to match color perfectly between the fusion and the editing page with the same .exr, this is the most important fact to me.

Yes, that was specific issue, but there are also other tips (and links) there, informing how to get consistent results, manage colour, grading, levels, ...  over different types of displays.

Yes, very interesting!

Either way, you can post your exemplary Resolve project here and we'll see how it fares on other systems.

Edit/
or just share your .exr, for starters
 

This is a link to a dropbox folder containing both the cinema 4d and the davinci scene. If anyone wants to have fun... :D

Ahh, mac...
Maybe this thread can help you: Apple DWG Workflow Gamma Shift in Rec709 2.2 (@ Blackmagic Forum)

Thank you burnin, anyway that post was about a mac export issue that has recently been resolved with the introduction of "REC709-A gamma" specifically for mac. I'm pretty sure mine it's a different problem.

Speaking of Corona FVB, image contrast is veri close to what I see in Fusion while saturation is closer to Davinci editing page, so there is noway to say what's right.

At this point I think it's a bug on the mac version of Davinci. I'm pretty sure I did everything you suggested but I'm still having a color mismatch...
Using "Davinci YRGB color managed" maybe was the worst error, now fixed, and applying the gamma LUT on the media page is a good idea but there is something else going on mac environment in my opinion. There are also a couple of preferences, mac specific I suppose, that I tried to change but it went even worst.

Thank you burnin but how do you see colors in Fusion?

keeping it 'linear' you use "Linear to Gamma 2.2" LUT (LUT>VFX IO>...)

It doesn't work, you get washed out color and less contrast in Fusion compared to Corona VFB

Hi Nejc, thanks for the suggestions

- Tone mapping is disabled, the only option is "Photographic Exposure"
- 32 bit, done.
- Color management disabled, done.

What kind of LUT do you use for visualization in Fusion? And can you use a LUT from Corona?

Hi guys, is there a correct way to match colors between Corona and Fusion? I'm exporting linear .exr 16bit from Cinema 4D Corona, LUT turned off, I keep it on only for visualization while I m working. Not no mention in Davinci color page colors are completely different.
In Fusion 18 I was using the same Corona LUT with gamma correction to 2.2 for visualization and It worked fine.   
Anyone who goes through the same workflow successfully?
