But there isn't any way to control the color space.

Auto Takes turn on any time you are in a Take and for example create a new node, there may be more things that force Auto Takes On instead of producing a warning that it can't perform that operation

Here's an easy way to burn in the Aces Look - save it as a default and you can render/save out jpg's/png's without going through COPs or a compositing app. First make sure you have the baked lut from ACES, it should be somewhere like aces_1.x/baked/houdini/ and it's called sRGB for ACEScg Houdini.lut. Load that into the flipbook LUT slot and turn Gamma either off or set it to 1 (doesn't seem to make a difference). Save as Default and hit Start. Oh, and your viewport should be set to Karma of course
Maybe some guru can chime in and help out with an expression for a timestamp in the filename.
So now, every time you create a flipbook you'll get the look from the viewport burned in.

Ugly workaround, but what if you split your color channels to three grayscale outputs with an RGBSplit node in Gaea, and then join them back into color in Houdini? :P

Yeah the height scales are a bit tricky to maintain. I think it also depends on the settings on your input and output nodes in Gaea, but in my case I now need to divide with the height-scale ratio defined in "Terrain Definition". YMMV
I can't seem to find that Terrain Definition section in Gaea? Where is it located?

In my case, when i use RAW output, i don't have this difference anymore
