Groundbreaking Research Validates the Central Role of Contrast (August 2025) New research from Meta and NYU, presented at SIGGRAPH 2025, provides the first unified perceptual model for HDR quality, directly validating the core thesis of MaxCLL ≠ HDR Quality. We argued that HDR’s core strength lies in preserving spatial contrast relationships that SDR compresses—not in... Continue Reading →

While our previous work documented his conflation of EOTFs and color spaces, this piece identifies the core problem: reducing the HDR format to a mere color space. “When it comes to “formats”...
