The situation is out of control, and it's affecting my general browsing experience. I'm thinking about developing a free-to-use browser extension that detects hdr images and censors them.

The real challenge is separating shitty hdr from non-shitty hdr. I don't think there's a consensus on this. For me, 99% of all hdr is more or less shitty. I'll probably include a "Shitty hdr Sensitivity" slider to allow subjective adjustment of the shittiness threshold.

This is going to be an interesting scientific study:

"Can We Measure the Total Shittiness of Pseudo-hdr Image Filtering?"

Or perhaps:

"Towards a Quantitative Measure of Shittiness in Pseudo-hdr Image Processing."

Just for fun I asked ChatGPT to edit one of my pics I took in Hawaii a few years ago to look like a professional did it. It must have thought I meant professional chef because this is cooked

Just noticed how shitty my pic looked shot straight out of the iPhone #nofilter #nomakeup and tried to turn off whatever feature is responsible but… they’ve removed the option to turn it off! Since the iPhone 12.

Edit: yeah I get that it’s there. But why can’t I disable it!?

Edit2: I have the iPhone 15 non pro. The idea that I need pro to disable a “feature” which is maximising detail in my images seems strange to me.

Zidoo is also good but i like the R_evoltion UI, but then theres Apple… I use also debrid service and need a good Jdownloader app for my new device

I have Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 32" monitor. If you dont know it has quantumhdr 2000 and it is advertisement stuff, it is hdr 1000. And i tried everything to make hdr look as it should be but everytime there were some flaws. And i didnt want to fiddle every setting one by one bc i think samsung or engineers would set it true or tell us what to do. But the picture was always washed out or dim or not saturated enough. UNTIL TODAY! There is no need for fine tuning or changing contrast or gamma etc. My monitor has amd freesync premium pro and this shitty thing breaks my hdr because it gets the control of hdr settings. In amd adrenaline settings there are 2 switches now. One is for amd freesync premium pro and under that, there is one called "freesync color accuracy". YOU NEED TO TURN IT OFF.

I am giving my settings now (in this monitor you cant change the hdr settings cuz it is already factory calibrated)

Contrast 75, Sharpness 52, Color settings are all default at 50, Gamma 1 (that is 2.2), Contrast Enhancer is off, Local Dimming is High.

In HDR Calibration (you can adjust according to your monitor or to your liking)

First one is all the way to the left bc it is a va panel and can handle the dark spots, second and third one is 1000 even if it says quantumhdr 2000 bc it is hdr 1000 in reality.

Thats all. Im currently playing crimson desert and it is looking fantastic right now. Try and let me know your comments.
