HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a visual technology that expands the range of contrast, brightness, and color beyond what standard displays can show, making images and videos look more lifelike and immersive. Unlike traditional formats, HDR captures details in both the darkest shadows and brightest highlights while delivering richer, more accurate colors that are closer to what the human eye naturally perceives. This is becoming increasingly important for the future of content consumption as screens evolve, with 4K, 8K, and advanced OLED/QLED displays now capable of showcasing this broader spectrum. For creators, HDR ensures their work retains its full depth and vibrancy, and for viewers, it provides a more engaging, cinematic experience—whether watching movies, gaming, or browsing photos. Its advantages include enhanced realism, improved clarity, and a future-proof standard that aligns with how modern audiences expect to consume high-quality content.

My unique workflow here shows both the SDR and HDR depending on how/where it is viewed, on a HDR supported display/device you would see the HDR image whilst if you open the same photo on a non SDR photo on a unsupported device, it will revert to my SDR edit instead of becoming a low expousure mess like how it usually does, this workflow enables me to have the best of both worlds.

Tap on the preview to show a larger image in Lightbox mode. You will see the photo in HDR if your browser and display are capable. Then hover and click on the X at upper right to exit Lightbox mode. Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera browsers support HDR viewing and please make sure HDR is turned on in your Apple display and Windows display settings.
