Linear gamma was created by crabshank
A very simple shader that reverse and applies transfer functions:
Then re-grade as you see fit, I suggest applying gamma (choosing your own value or algorithm could lead to better results) first.
The image above uses the inverse (sRGB) setting.
Video shader for Avisynth here
I also have a version that uses an implicit method, but the gamma function is less accurate (straight gamma of 2.2) here

Would it be possible to make a version of this with an adjustable gamma slider? I tried it in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order with HDR on and its amazing but could use a tiny tweak to the gamma values.
This shader works in HDR, whilst many other gamma ones (LevelsPlus, Tonemap, etc) do not, so i could see it helping in a lot of games where the HDR seems washed out.

UPDATE: Separated transforms into separate techniques.
@sajittarius using my grey gamma shader after this should help.

i think the grey gamma shader was what i was looking for in the first place (it works great for what i want just by tweaking that shader)
thank you

I have included more transfer functions in this shader, check my other shaders as I have added many more colour spaces to most of them.

Included a second instance so that one can easily convert back after applying other filters.

Thanks for making this.
Can we please get an update. It looks like it is working (I think) in 4.8.2
I had to change DrawText_mod.fxh to DrawText.fxh in line 15 in order for it to compile and load. But a large box with letters in yellow and a warning pops up when I hover over it's name in the shaders list.
Thanks in advance.
