What is HDR – High Dynamic Range?: Auto HDR Vs HDR

HDR stands for High-dynamic-range imaging that is set of techniques used to reproduce a greater range of luminosity than that which is possible with standard photographic techniques. HDR is useful for recording many real-world scenes containing, direct sunlight to extreme shade, very bright, or very faint nebulae. HDR images are often created by capturing and then combining several different, narrower range, exposures of same subject matter.

HDR as opposed to SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), is capable of showing a way wider range of colors and more details in between whites & blacks while SDR is only capable of showing details in bright part of scene or in dark one. Microsoft introduced Auto HDR takes DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games that are not designed for HDR and automatically expands the colour and brightness range to HDR.

Auto HDR won’t match the visuals you get when you play the game in your Windows computer that was natively developed for HDR, it is still a vast improvement from SDR.
