Yeah, and actually this is the first time I've routinely put DCI-P3 material online in sRGB, and I realize I hadn't appreciated just how different they are - and in funny sort of ways.  There's this area in the low-mids that just gets boosted in the conversion, which takes a lot of the contrast/saturation with it, but it's non-linear.  Like, in many of these space shots, you can see tone in the black but the actual image is pure black - I see stuff show up in there when I post it online that is not on my monitor, reference monitor, or projector.  It's gotten so that I set up an extra node which boosts things in that range just so I can make sure there's nothing ugly to be revealed later.  Weird.  But still, yes, these images have basically always looked like shit, so even these compromised restorations look tons better.
