GIMP 2.10.6 out-of-range RGB values from .CR2 file

[Elle (Elle Stone)]

This all started regarding discussions of out of range values. If you do proper chromatic adaptation, the resultant primaries move RGB values out of gamut in the destination reference space. They must be clipped or will cause problems during compositing and manipulation.

Here is a question about these out of gamut values. I’m excluding negative channel values at this point. So here’s the question: If I open up a floating point exr file with Blender or Nuke, and the floating point exr file has some channel values that are greater than 1.0f, should these channel values be clipped summarily upon opening the file so that future compositing and manipulation problems can be avoided?
