P: Add full support for external editing in Rec2020 (critical for HDR and ideal for print)

[gregbenz]

The Rec2020 colorspace (aka ITU-R BT.2020) is a critical colorspace for photography and not well supported in Lightroom Classic.

Rec2020 is the preferred colorspace for HDR (and is LRC's working primaries when in HDR mode). Rec2020 is also very ideal for print-related work as it includes many printable colors which fall outside Adobe RGB / P3, and yet avoids the excess of ProPhoto (which includes many imaginary values outside the range of human vision).

You cannot use it via any "edit in" options to open your image in Photoshop, which is especially important for working with RAW Smart Objects. The colorspace options in LRC preferences / external editing are limited to ProPhoto, Adobe RGB, P3, and sRGB.

This would ideally be done as a "JDI", as both LRC and PS support Rec2020, we simply don't have the option in the colorspace dropdown for external editing.

Note that there is limited support now in the "export" pathway (you can select file settings / color space = "rec 2020"). We just need a way to offer the same colorspace options for external editing.

With the use of HDR increasing across devices, full and complete support for Rec2020 should be included across the board, in all Adobe products.

Greg is at the sharp edge of HDR and his own plugins are the enabler that is helping thousands to use HDR in real world, everyday workflows. Everything he says about bringing Rec2020 to ACR and other imaging products is correct: Adobe really needs to be seen to be leading the way with HDR support, both from a technical and a marketing standpoint, so lets do this and do it now!

@Festive_image01ACThank you for your kind words!

I think Adobe is definitely at the leading edge for HDR overall. This is one of those things that seems to have fallen in between the cracks. The biggest gaps these days are in distribution (ie support on various websites to preserve HDR in the files you upload).

FYI to anyone copying and pasting here, keep an eye out for spelling of "critical" (not "crital")

Please add the full support for Rec2020.  Adobe has a great product that should not neglect how we photographers wish to work and take advantage of what the HDR offers.  Please provide us the tool changes to acomplish this mission in the fullest.  Thank you!

Please add external editing support for Rec2020 across all Adobe products as the growth of HDR is increasing and we need the proper tools for external editing.
