The extensive HDR support across all versions of Lightroom is amazing. However, sharing the images is still challenging and it would be incredibly helpful if Adobe Portfolio supported HDR photos (ideally shared as gain maps).

The existing HDR support in LR Web Galleries is great (example). However, it lacks the capabilities many photographers are seeking to share their work. Adobe Portfolio is a much better fit for many people, especially given it's included with Creative Cloud and the excellent Lightroom integration.

@hanomanobThe Lightroom Web Galleries (my example link in the original post) do support HDR, but only when viewing the image large (not in the grid view). FireFox is not a browser which currently supports HDR photos (nor is Safari). You can confirm your actual HDR headroom with test #1 on my site in Chrome/Brave/Edge/Opera: https://gregbenzphotography.com/hdr/

Are you viewing the images large and then 'arrowing' between them?

@Rikk Flohr: PhotographyThank you for digging in here.

I do not see any HDR content. It's likely delivering a standard JPG based on the "preview for SDR version" of your source.

When I view your test images, both render as SDR-only JPGs on both Chrome and Brave (confirmed with Adobe Gain Map Demo app). If I compare Chome to FireFox (which would definitely not support HDR now), the page looks identical.

I am having no issues with HDR in Portfolio. See this test page: https://rikk.myportfolio.com/hdr-images-test-page
On an HDR capable screen toggling between the two images shows clear extended range in the highlights...

@Rikk Flohr_Photography The default view is SDR only, the viewer needs to click to see HDR in the large view. Most viewers won’t know to do that, wouldn’t know which images support it, and it quickly gets tiresome to have to click in and out of images to view them. I believe very few photographers will be interested in sharing HDR with that limitation.

And as far as I know, even this limited large HDR view is still not supported when exporting direct from Lightroom (it’s been a bit since I’ve tested, so perhaps that pathway is now supported).

Is there any way at this point for a creator to allow HDR in the grid on Portfolio? Would be such an amazing way to share the work created in Lightroom.

I do not see any difference viewing the example pictures on my desktop and my HDR-capable Asus proArt Notebook, nor do i see a white square. I use Firefox on both computers and a Benq SW321C montor on my desktop.

It would be a natural extension of Lightroom's HDR capability to be able to display the HDR photos in Adobe's MyPortfolio. Conversely, it is frustrating to take the time to make HDR edits in Lightroom, but then be unable to share them using MyPortfolio, which is also an Adobe service. I am hoping Adobe will add this enhancement to MyPortfolio.
