A typical use case is when you want to render with the Filmic view transform, but composite an existing image in the background that should not be affected by the view transform. With this colorspace it's possible to do an inverse Filmic transform, render everything in scene linear space, and then apply the Filmic transform again. This is pretty basic in that this is not going to take into account the full view transform including looks, curves and exposure. But it can be helpful anyway. Ref T68926
