Yeah, the idea was to share some experience from the userbase. Since our CTO’s testimony completely matches to what Joachim described, I thought it would be interesting to share with group.
Far from me the idea of entering the should/shouldn’t debate, HDR not being my field of expertise. At some point we will be interested to switch to a full HDR workflow but that’s not the case currently. And I think that many studios are in the same situation.
I won’t enter the reasons as to why HDR looked different to SDR in our case. As you said it could come from many reasons. But I think the key word here is “predictability”. That’s what we expect when entering a DI grading suite.
Question may be vague to you but our answers (as you stated) should not be.
