Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - HDR10 to SDR with Hable tone-mapping

Ok after reading the hable reference article from ifb's tonemap page, I just realized that hable is not for 4k hdr tv to sdr conversion. It was created for images and SDR games to make them looks HDR. So this whole approach to use it for "4K HDR TV content -> SDR" is just wrong. The right tool for this in vapoursynth is DGHDRtoSDR.
