Photo Compression

HEIC, HDR, and Depth Explained

Compress HDR and Portrait photos while maintaining highlight roll-off, color, and depth maps.

Key Considerations

  • HDR tone mapping can exaggerate banding if too aggressive.
  • Depth maps must remain linked for Portrait effects.
  • Wide color (P3) should be preserved for modern displays.

Recommended Settings

  • Use HDR-friendly presets to protect gradients.
  • Keep depth and metadata on to enable Portrait adjustments later.
  • Spot-check skies and skin tones after compression.
