Short description of error
View transform is ignored for both images and movie clips used as a background images in the viewport.

Ideally image will follow its "View as Render", and movie clip probably should just always respect view transform, similar to what's happening in the Clip Editor.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open attached file and see the difference between how texture on a cube is color managed and how is the background image is not.

Note that changes to color space might not be immediately visible in the viewport due to T66872 (which is a sepaarte root of the issue, and i'll fix that).

@Brecht Van Lommel (brecht), on a more technical note i've looked into gpu_texture_create_from_ibuf which is used by the background images, but it is not really clear to me how view transform fits there. Linearize the result of view transform, and apply sRGB transform in there? Or separate split the background image and make them always be in display space?

As discussed, this is a consequence of the current design and similar to 2.7. Background images are drawn without overlays, and those are drawn without view transform.

The solution would probably be to either pre-transform the image on the CPU, or the change the overlay background image shader to optionally included a view transform. This would be based on the View as Render setting, with the goal of matching the image in the image editor and 3D viewport.
