[Tig] Universal Color Metadata challenge

[timothy norman huber]

Nice post Stu.

Doesn't have to be metadata.  How about a color-centric API ala RIB.   
All color data,  LUTs, 3D LUTS, primary, secondaries, selections,  
blurs, vignettes, splines, etc get fed into a file and remains  
separate from the image until the final render.     The metadata  
could point to the CC_file.

Since one of your beefs about the current situation is the effect on  
VFX elements, it would be nice to have compositing data (z?, layers)  
along for the ride as well.   Who wants to write the code?
