What You’ll Learn

• The challenge of handling high dynamic range (HDR) scenes in standard dynamic range (SDR) displays.
• How tonemapping compresses highlights and shadows to fit within a limited range.
• Blender’s built-in tonemapping options, including AGX and Filmic, and their visual differences.
• Why exported renders in formats like PNG or JPEG bake in tonemapping, while Open EXR preserves raw HDR data for post-processing.

A quick, practical guide to understanding and applying tonemapping in your workflow.
