  • macOS:

    `/Applications/Autodesk/Synergy/SynColor//transforms

For Maya:

/synColor/transforms

cameraConverts from various digital-camera native formats to other color spaces such as ACES.
displayConverts colors in a connection space to and from output spaces appropriate for various display devices.
filmConverts scanned-film color spaces to and from ACES, or applies various 1D log/linear conversions.
gammaApplies or removes various common gamma curves, including those for sRGB and Rec. 709.
interchangeConverts colors in a connection space to and from spaces that are commonly used for file input and output, such as AdobeRGB and sRGB.
levelsVarious functions to clamp or adjust color values.
miscVarious transforms that may be useful for debugging or other purposes.
primariesConverts between linear color spaces that use different primary colors.
taggingConverts from various combinations of primaries and encodings to ACES.
tone-mapConverts from scene-linear to video color spaces, and vice versa.
