- JyrkiAlakuijala 3y agoIt is difficult to understand the benefits of the gainmap approach over HDR first and high quality local tone mapping. Especially when there is a modern local tone mapping algorithm with oss implementation that runs in real time. Some industry leads believe that the tone mapping is part of artistic creativity and belongs to the photographer. I don't share this viewpoint, but I'm looking at this from a purely technical and philosophical viewpoint. I think we should have HDR first world, and SDR is a temporary fallback.
