to get around this, you still need display color management enabled. as long as
your working space is the same as your monitor, you don’t need simulate display,
but its a bad idea if your working space can’t be the same as your monitor. It’s bad practice if your working with pro-photo for example as you need to work in the largets gamut of the largest item in your project to avoid color clipping.
-mercury transmit is forced to rec. 709. as is dynamic link!
-try setting the lut as adjustment layer transfer mode color or saturation, not normal
-i don’t know why youtube won’t do the re-touch fix or why the lut crushes
it too much, but there’s an easy fix for you.
make a custom lut.
upload a color chart to youtube, take a screenshot from your browser. open it and the original in photoshop. make its size the same as the original. place inside the enlarged canvas a HALD from iwltap and click edit-match color(be sure to select ignore the HALD when it automatches!) finally, use that converted HALD to create a custom lut for yourself.
