Maxbe Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Recently Lightroom introduced the support for tue HDR monitors. This feature has been quite well explained in the video below Now the queston is: what about AP? Is this mode already supported in some way? If not, will it be supported in next releases?

Xzenor Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I'm not sure I follow..... Affinity Photo has had support for HDR quite a while now but I cannot imagine that Lightroom did not have that support yet..

I understand that this argument may be a little confusing: the support to build HDR images (i.e. using differently exposed images), which of course is well already supported by AP, and supporting HDR monitors are two totally different things (take a look at the video).

Xzenor Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I know.. but Affinity does support HDR monitors.. If you enable the 32Bit preview panel you can just tag the EDR (Mac) or HDR (Windows) checkbox to enable HDR view and make use of the HDR capabilities of your display. EDIT: Sidenote.. On windows you have to enable HDR in your windows settings first before the checkbox becomes available. Kind of annoying but that's just how it works.. Windows itself looks off in HDR mode so it's not something you want to have turned on constantly.

Xzenor Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 You're welcome. Here's an Affinity video for working with HDR. woefi 1 Quote Windows 10 Pro Intel Core i7-4770 3.40Ghz 16 GB RAM Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Samsung EVO 850 SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff James Ritson Posted December 6, 2023 Staff Share Posted December 6, 2023 Hey @Maxbe, the Affinity apps have had EDR/HDR display support for quite a while, since 2017/2018 if memory serves. It may be worth watching this tutorial (available in HDR of course 😉) as it will cover the different scenarios for authoring HDR images, e.g. bracketed exposure merging, single exposure processing and other non-photographic workflows: Chris B and woefi 2 Quote Product Expert (Affinity Photo) & Product Expert Team Leader @JamesR_Affinity for tutorial sneak peeks and more Official Affinity Photo tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
