@DSCCRoss @DSCCRoss Thank you for sharing this! Would you expect a shift in the PSD at this level to be significant for the accuracy of profiling with a colorimeter? I'd think that photographers using consumer colorimeters may need a software update to generate accurate custom ICC profiles

@XiaomiSupport Neither MacOS nor Windows recognize the Xiaomi G Pro 27" HDR 1000 as HDR-capable, so I cannot enable HDR mode (using known good HDMI cable which works for dozens of other HDR displays on the same computers). Is there a recommended fix to allow HDR mode in the OS?

@phantomofearth Interesting! Would be nice to have more default support for HDR without setup. Any idea of this automatic setting allows HDR display of photos (such as in Chrome or editing tools like Lightroom)?

@UHD4k @YoeriGeutskens Maybe, the old HDR people know for photography is just cramming data into the SDR range. Now we can show true HDR and use any method we prefer to create SDR fallback (with tone mapping generally being inferior to techniques like manual exposure blending with luminosity masks).

@UHD4k @YoeriGeutskens I’m not referring to tone mapping for HDR photography (things like Photomatix). You can use any method you want for the SDR and HDR, and then a gain map lets you share both in the same file. The quality is extremely good and uniquely allows for local enhancements in the SDR.

@UHD4k @YoeriGeutskens I find all these formats can be awesome for HDR, but often underwhelming in their ability to adapt to SDR. Gain maps for HDR photography offer so much more artistic control (granted DV enhancement layer should do that, but video bandwidth is a serious constraint).

@UHD4k @YoeriGeutskens Makes more sense. None of the HLG sets fail to support HDR10.

@UHD4k @enroberts Which workflow or editing tool would work better without metadata? I would think any significant editing tool would support it, and that the HLG benefits would be more in compatibility for distribution.

@UHD4k @enroberts I’ve always wondered if the metadata advantage (ie none) for HLG was a little overblown. Would think short delay could create something akin to shot by shot metadata, but live events often aim for zero delay.

@R_A_Chalmers Affinity supports HDR (to a lesser degree than PS), but not scripted panels like Lumenzia.

@manuelbabolin That seems to be the case. I'd like to see something like CICP used to encode wide gamut (only uses 4 bytes), rather than stripping the profile / assuming sRGB.

@rapozawa They do support HDR video, but agree that being so late to support HDR photos is a bit odd, especially given all the attention given to cameras on iPhone.

@HenriHelvetica @rapozawa AVIF support was added, but not HDR (it will be tone mapped to SDR in Safari).

@rapozawa iOS 17 Photos app supports HDR AVIF. No iPhone / iPad browser works because they all depend on WebKit. Android 14 supports HDR photos in Chrome, etc.

@rapozawa I haven’t found any HDR format which works in any version of Safari (unless you drag an HDR AVIF into the background of Safari when no browser tabs are open, then you’ll see HDR there!)

@PhotoTaco @StuwhittPhoto Yes, and the Apple XDR displays are ideal - awesome HDR experience for laptop, external monitor, iPhone and iPad. All supported by Adobe Lightroom.

@3kliksphilip I just posted a video on "gain maps", I'd say HDR photography is now simpler than HDR video:
