I never mentioned a file format. These operations are performed on the raw buffer, there is no hack. There is no minimum bit depth for HDR (except for maybe 2) that’s just silly. High dynamic range images just remap the physical light waves to match human perception, but collecting those waves can be done at any resolution or bit depth.
I wrote camera firmware. I’ve implemented HDR on the both the firmware level, and later at the higher client level when devices became faster. You’re either overloading terminology to the point where we are just talking past each other, or you’re very confused.
