There is no linear gamma *or* perceptually uniform choice at import. There is a conversion to one of the babl-managed pixel formats; and after that GEGL operations are free to convert between any of the unbounded babl formats. GIMP is making things more confusing by letting an arbitrary extra parameter change the behavior of compositing ops; this "feature" is something I consider a bug, it shouls also be considered bugs to do operation in linear space if the algortihm of a GEGL op behaves incorrectly/really unexpectedly unless it works in a more perceptual space. > I've asked this question of what is actually meant by "color > space/working space" in the world of BABL and GEGL twice before now, > and no one has answered.
