covering resolve wide gamut workflows?

Aside from ACES and RCM, I didn't cover wide gamut workflows in this course. If we update the course, it might be a good topic to add.

Is there any way to download old project files from DR15 or 16?  When i'm trying to import them an error appears that says that i'm unable to import project from newer version.

I'm still using 16 version since i've got some unfinished projects and don't want to update yet.

We are in the process of re-uploading the old project files, so stay tuned.
