Greg, a useful and easy to follow summary thanks.
Great tutorial, thanks!
I've been playing around with HDR in ACR this weekend, and one problem I'm running into is finding a way to view the output AVIF file correctly. If I load the AVIF into Preview it completely ruins it at shows it as a very flat SDR image. If I load it into Google Chrome it does show it as HDR, but it looks like it's reducing the exposure. The highlights are still better than SDR, but nowhere near as bright as I see in Photoshop. It's almost like it's doing a partial tone map reduction on it knocking it down from the 1600 nits that I edited the photo for and displaying it closer to 800-1000 nits. At least that's my impression of what I see. Do you have any advice for getting the output image files to actually appear the same elsewhere as they do in ACR?
Very impressive! I didn't know real HDR was possible for images too
I am surprised that it came to video before photo.
The budget and effort behind creating HDR movies is vastly greater than anything in the photography world. Inevitable it would get attention first.
How will an HDR processed image look on an SDR monitor? Can you process an image as an HDR for your website with taking into consideration the monitor your visitor has?
Feels a bit sketchy to use if you have to trust that your visitors have the right monitor.
You can send optional versions to both. I’ve got a test page that automatically serves HDR when the browser supports, and SDR if not. gregbenzphotography.com/hdr-gallery/

Very interesting Greg and thank you for the video. Can't wait to try it out on my M1 Max to see how far the HDR can be pushed.
Would it be of benefit to edit in HDR for printing? There's lots of discussion of HDR monitors, but nothing of how such an image would look printed. Thanks.
SDR white is by definition paper white, so HDR values are effectively out of gamut. You would tone map or do more processing in order to print one of these images. See gregbenzphotography.com/hdr#printing for more info.
Ultimately, we have to deal with out of gamut values for most prints already, this is just a new twist on the differences between monitors and prints.
@@gregbenzphotography Thanks Greg.
Wow, thanks! So if I understand correctly, there's no way to do the same in Lightroom?
That's correct. ACR is the only option for HDR with RAW at this time with Adobe (no LR support). Photoshop does offer 32-bit support, but that's a different animal for more advanced work after this initial RAW processing.
Is this 3 images blinded into HDR ? in lrc you can merge there 3 images and create HDR image is this the same ? Or how How to get this HDR button in LRC if possible.. I’m not familiar with photoshop tbh unless for stacking or and left side adjustment etc.
You can use this in combination with this, but this is completely different. This is just in ACR currently, but it works the same as LR and so the learning curve is simple (biggest gap is keyboard shortcuts, which sadly are different).
I wish I could do this in Lightroom.
Agreed, would be ideal
This is great. But what programs can I use to see the hdr photo? Does windows support this natively? Is it possible to see these photos on android in any way? AVIF files nor jpeg xl are supperted at the moment
AVIF HDR is supported in Chrome on Windows now, and MS Edge with a special flag.
To use Edge now: right-click the app icon and append the following at the very end with a space after the last quote: -enable-features=msEdgeAVIF
JXL HDR support is lacking at this point. AVIF (and soon a modified JPG format) are likely what we will be using. Google dropped JXL support, so I’m not holding my breath there as far as browsing.
Android 14 beta with Chrome Canary supports HDR AVIF. So it should be a mainline feature in a few months for Android.
@@gregbenzphotography thank you! As soon as I'll get home I'll connect the pc to my hdr tv and have fun with some older photos
@pietroalessandrini if you get sticking seeing HDR on the TV, review the troubleshooting steps in my HDR e-book: gregbenzphotography.com/hdr/
Does the HDR bring noise in the shadows?
No, you’re working with exactly the same data, but no longer compressing the highlights.
@@gregbenzphotography impressive stuff.
thank you for answering
Warning, I did these HDR settings and now photoshop crashes when trying to open a file in PS via LR ('Edit in PS' or 'Edit Smart Object in PS'). Running LR 12.2.1 and PS 24.3 on Ventura 13.2.1 (These are the latest versions as of March 30 2023). I uninstalled PS and reinstalled it, did the settings again and now it seems to work.
Never heard of any crashes with this feature. A reinstall may have fixed any number of other unrelated issues, so hard to tell now.
Did you report the crash / bug to Adobe? asupport@adobe.com
@@gregbenzphotography I spoke too soon. PS still crashing after reinstall and doing these HDR changes in the settings. I haven't reported it, at least not yet.
Try turning off the tech preview. If that doesn’t fix it, it’s probably something else.
If it does fix it, email me and we can help gather info together to report it.
Is this another one of those things that requires an HD monitor?
HD means high definition (resolution). This requires an HDR monitor, which means “high dynamic range” and implies a monitor with 400+ nits peak brightness (things really start to impress around 1000 nits).
