I'm just showing you what I've been up to lately. This is a comparison of my P4K2Alexa PowerGrade Vs a real ARRI Alexa.
The P4K2Alexa PowerGrade accurately matches BMPCC 4K footage to the ARRI Alexa via a clean, non destructive 3x3 matrix. With none of the downsides of using a LUT.
This shows what's possible when you don't accept the manufacturer's default colour science, but strive for better.

Getting reports the Windows version of the profiles doesn't contain the SM profiles. The workaround is to download the Mac version and use 7zip to extract the package. I can't test this ATM. but check the comments below for more info.
