hello - I was hoping someone could help me - HDR edited images - once exported look flat - why is this happening to me? I have been following tutorials - I edit in HDR mode - it looks great in adobe lightroom - but then once I go to export out the images as JPG's - and open them from my folder they look flat -& over exposed.

Apple's preview app has many bugs displaying HDR content. It cannot correctly display any HDR still images correctly. The only apps that can correctly display avif and jpegXL HDR images are Photoshop with the options turned on and Chrome. Nothing else works correctly. This indeed really limits your options because basically nobody can actually display these images correctly. I have submitted these as bugs to Apple but they seem to not really care. Maybe if more people submit these bigs they might.

Thank you Jao, That is refreshing to know I am not soing seomthing wrong - I have been going around in circles trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I will contact apple about this as well. 

Do you know if the printed version of these photo's will print as they show up in chrome or lightroom - or will they print a they show up on my screen in the finder? 

also - I hate to ask - but how do I turn on this preferance in photoshop - I did try to open them in photoshop and they were no better. - It seems only chrome and lightroom are workgin for me.

Prints are always SDR. What HDR editing does is show highlights brighter than paper white. When you print something, you can obviously not print brighter than the paper you are printing on.
