Don’t forget an image codec with HDR (10-bit) support!

Jesus wept, this is just a still frame from any of: h.265, AV1, or VP9. Those, or a JPEG XL file.

None of these work in general, especially outside of the Apple moat.

Oh, sure, you can buy a $4000 flagship Nikon camera that can output HDR files in HEIF format, but they won’t open on Windows and look garbled on Apple devices.

This is so stupid now that the iOS version of Adobe Lightroom can edit HDR photos and export them in three formats… none of which can be viewed as HDR on any iOS device! I’ve never ever seen this kind of retardation before — software that is this fundamentally incompatible with the only OS it runs on!

I go on this rant approximately annually. It’s been about a decade. I expect to be stuck using SDR JPG for another decade at this rate.
