What does the ICC mean by "exchange"?

[xpatUSA]

I've been reading about scene-referred images versus output-referred images. I am aware of the difference between those two types.

Here, it says:

"While the greatest flexibility for subsequent processing comes from exchanging camera raw files, there are workflows where the exchange of scene-referred images is desirable."

However, I am unclear as to exactly what gets exchanged with what, or with whom.

Can anyone help?

TIA.

Ted I think they are using the term "exchange" to mean "share" or "distribute to a third party". The digital movie industry uses a file format called .DPX which is called an exchange format and is used to send a movie out to a third party for further editing, color grading and special effects.

Thank you, Dave!

Makes sense to me ...
