Numerical gammas of C1 "curve" options
While I primarily use C1 for artistic photography, my day job is as an engineer working on optical systems and I've got a question about using C1 in a somewhat "scientific" mode.
I'm attempting to take test images with my SLR and process them with C1 so that I have a totally linear representation of the intensities in that image. I notice that the "base characteristics" section of C1 has a "curve" pulldown, which I believe is essentially setting the gamma. There is a "linear" option, which seemed promising to me, but the result still appears to have a gamma applied to it (perhaps something like a standard power law 2.2, looking at my results). It's not clear what the various "film" options apply.
I couldn't find it anywhere in the documentation; is it known what the numerical gammas (if it's as simple as a power/exponential law type gamma) of these C1 settings are? Is there perhaps even a way of specifying one's own curves?
