Howdy all, Im having a bit of a problem transfering files. I get the pictures looking great in Lightroom with hdr and also fine when I export to my photos but when I upload the pictures anywhere else the hdr is lost and they look awful.

I attached an example- the sky is a mess among other problems, any help would be greatly appreciated. (Im editing the photos on iphone13 in lightroom mobile)

You have to have a capable HDR display in 10-bit, most displays are SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) and have 8-bit colour depth.

This is the problem you're seeing.

When you export as HDR, but then viewed on an SDR monitor, that is the result you will see!

For uploading to Stock, it is best to edit in SDR and not HDR - not until HDR monitors become ubiquitous.

@Jill_C may have a point. My images look fine even on my low-end MacBook Air, but numerous issues are revealed when I view the same assets of my desktop iMac.

If it looks fine on your phone but bad on any other device, perhaps the issue is with the display on your iPhone. Have you tried editing on any other device?

No I am not using other devices Im talking about on the same device - apply hdr in lightroom mobile ( on my phone) then export to my photos. Hdr only seems to carry over in AVIF format . JPEG and TIFF lose hdr in the export despite hdr being turned on in export settings and image quality and size being set to maximum.

In any case, when upload to any stock website - adobe/istock/shutterstock the hdr is lost regardless of format. I dont know what Im missing

JPEG does not carry HDR information, so the excessive colour info needs to get compressed to 8 bits per base colour.
