Linear workflow C4D

Hi,

I've recently noticed that when Linear workflow is ticked under C4D project settings (CTRL+D > Project Settings) it seems to apply an sRGB profile (or gamma curve?) to Octane render exports. This causes issues further down the pipeline in Fusion etc
Has something changed recently as I don't remember having this problem until recently.

Normally I work in linear with 2.2 curve applied to the Live Viewer only (using camera imager settings). The results are obvious when rendering to export with the familiar "dark" look of the linear images compared to the brighter 2.2 in LV.
I've noticed the image looks correct (linear) in the viewport, but not in the Render Viewer or the image that is saved from it.


I read something about sRGB now being the default in Octane but I'm struggling to find any new settings in the C4D plugin.


Any ideas?

Thanks

Did you read new manual for related pages?

I've been looking through it but so far I have't been able to find a solution

Thanks but I'm still struggling to see what's changed? The viewport seems to render the correct(?) linear image whereas, whatever the settings, the render viewer and render queue are producing images with what seems to be an sRGB profile.
Exporting the scene and rendering from Octane Standalone produces the expected linear image so the issue is only with the C4D plugin.
