P: add support for displaying HDR photos in Grids on Adobe Portfolio (myportfolio.com sites)

[gregbenz]

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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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

[gregbenz]

@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/

@Rikk Flohr: PhotographyAh! The large version of the HDR child does serve an HDR gain map (the large version of the woman labeled as HDR serves only an SDR gain map).

Can we get support to see HDR in this grid? I think that's required to really get the benefit here. The images are already pretty large and suitable for viewing side by side. And anyone who is worried about how the images look next to each other already has control to make them consistent if they need.

I've modified the title.  Portfolio teams don't live here - they have a different request area. I will tag some folks to get visibility.

@Rikk Flohr: PhotographyThank you!

This is a request I hear often from my audience (specific requests for HDR support in Adobe Portfolio). And it would be a great option for others who don't even know of it as there are currently no website builders with support: Wix, Squarespace, etc do not support HDR gain maps in their media libraries).

[gregbenz]

@Rikk Flohr: PhotographyIs there anything else you need to do to enable HDR? I do not see it in any large image views in Chrome / Brave. This image should show bright text when viewed as HDR: https://gregbenzphotography.myportfolio.com/adobe-portfolio

It is rendering an SDR JPG, similar to what I see with the 2nd example on the page you shared.

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

Nothing that I can recall. I created HDR-capable images and added them to the album. They showed up as HDR - I did this sometime ago so I may not be remembering.

Seems like a bug, I would expect it works by default
