Intel Developer Working On Adding HDR Display Support To Wayland / Weston

It's been 3.5 years....

Traditional color management isn't really relevant when doing HDR in any case -- plus, we're already used to doing all color management internally, since it's a mess in X11, too.

Right, but (by design I'm told), the application doesn't know which output it's pixels are going to end up on, so it can't do the appropriate color conversion.

Except that due to the design of wayland an application can't know which monitor they are running on (making automatically selecting the right output profile impossible) and wayland doesn't have a way to actually calibrate nor profile the screen. So in essence wayland is worse then X11 currently is. Add to this that large gamut/HDR screens are becoming mainstream making full-screen color management a necessity (otherwise a lot of people are going to complain that they favorite app/video/game/etc looks wonky), provided this is implemented correctly this shouldn't be a problem (see MacOS) but if it isn't graphics artist need to turn this off (hopefully with a runtime option) in the best case or are stuck on X11 for the worst case.

Before getting too exited, take a look at the (total lack) of Color Management support in Wayland. Maybe it's not such a good fit for Krita until Wayland developers wake up and notice that they've missed something...

YAY! We've been working on HDR support in Krita since mid 2018 -- and have it working on Windows, and on Windows only.

On wide-gamut non-HDR monitors, full-screen games still look like <censored>. Oversaturated colors. I.e. Linux still does not have mandatory full-screen color correction that works even for legacy apps from the times when all monitors were strictly sRGB. And - you call this feature parity with MacOS?

They're light years behind OS X.

Do you state that nvidia, amd and intel have not development team?

development team of what?

[pal666]

so, is not intel a vendor?

no, intel is an author of wayland protocol specification

you are using some broken linux then. did you break it?
