Ah, no, that's not what we're doing. OpenGL simply does not support HDR at all in any meaningful way. Sending f16 textures looks like it works, on nvidia cards, but it will not work on an intel gpu. And scRGB is something that's very controversial -- Charles Poynton says this: https://twitter.com/momaku/ status/1059239827244306432 The only platform where HDR currently is supported is Windows 10 with Direct3D. See https://displayhdr.org/ . It's a really complex subject, there are very complex interactions between the monitor and the os, like described in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/dxgi1_5/ns-dxgi1_5-dxgi_hdr_metadata_hdr10 . We're also not really working on making QColor or QImage support f16 channels -- though another part of our project (https://phabricator.kde.org/T9256) is having gradients calculated correctly, and that would be helped by having QColor and QGradient support f16 or f32. What we're currently trying to do is fix Qt and Angle so we can use HDR using OpenGL. As Dmitry described in https://dimula73.blogspot.com/2018/11/krita-fall-2018-sprint-results-hdr.html, that needs: 1 Create a DXGI swap chain with 10-bit or 16-bit pixel format 2 Set the color space of that swap chain to either p2020-pq (for 10-bit mode) or scRGB (for 16-bit mode). 3 Make sure all the intermediate textures/surfaces are rendered in 10/16- bit mode (to avoid loss of precision) 4 Since the GUI is usually rendered on the same swap chain, one should also ensure that the GUI is converted from sRGB into the destination color space (either p2020-pq or scRGB) -- https://www.krita.org
