欧博allbetTonemapping Algorithm Question
Okay… so I got some references but not ideal testing.
Using Plex Desktop on Mac this is the HDR reference:
HDR1-HDR961×520 85.5 KB
Here is transcoding using Hable via Plex Web (Firefox):
HDR1-Hable959×521 84.7 KB
Here is Mobius:
HDR1-Mobius959×521 102 KB
Here is Reinhard:
HDR1-Reinhard959×521 101 KB
Another reference using Plex Desktop on iMac with HDR:
HDR2-HDR961×520 60 KB
And transcoding via PlexWeb (firefox) with Hable:
HDR2-Hable962×520 63.6 KB
Here is Mobius:
HDR2-Mobius962×520 79.1 KB
Here is Reinhard:
HDR2-Reinhard962×520 76.7 KB
I didn’t test the others only because in the different discussion groups these three seemed to be the most preferred options.
It’s hard to say if one or the other is a clear “best” option. It’s definitely going to come down to preferences I think; and hardware config. So no way for there to be a right answer that’ll work for everyone. If you look in some of the other discussions about it folks get into the nitty gritty of setting manual settings for the algorithms too (personally I think that’d only be useful as a per client setting to try to get that specific).
I did the same tests on a 1080p TV and the differences weren’t as drastic as on my iMac but hable still seemed more accurate to the HDR - taking pictures of the TV did not represent the differences well so not going to bother posting them too.
I do tend to prefer darker over brighter myself so probably will stick with hable for now but am curious what others might find in testing things out too.
@ChuckPa - @PoppinJ mentioned HW transcoding overall wasn’t working in this build but was working in the earlier preview build so just wondered if it might’ve be related (irrespective of tonemapping). Thanks for clarifying it.
