I don't think I understand HDR. It just looks brighter and more contrast. I can just do that with normal manipulations. What's this all about?

Edit: Maybe my hardware doesn't support it. I'm using an LG monitor with Windows. There's also a good chance I've never actually seen anything in HDR.

Then you are probably not viewing this with HDR-capable hardware and software. Otherwise it'd go past what you can just do with normal manipulation on an sRGB image.

You need an HDR screen, what that basically means hardware-wise is that each pixel can control its brightness.

On compatible screens, those emojis are appearing super bright. In fact brighter than the maximum brightness setting while the rest of the screen doesnt change.
