- **HDR verification** - Automatic verification that HDR data is preserved in exported files
### Fixed
- **🚨 CRITICAL: Fixed Debevec for VFX pipeline** - Now produces flat, log-like raw linear radiance (correct for professional VFX)
- **Removed tone mapping from Debevec/Robertson** - VFX artists need raw data, not processed images
- **Fixed color channel handling** - Proper RGB handling without unnecessary conversions
- **VFX Pipeline compliance** - Debevec now outputs professional flat/log appearance
- **🚨 CRITICAL: Fixed Debevec color inversion** - Proper RGB↔BGR conversion fixes inverted colors completely
- **🚨 CRITICAL: Perfect VFX flat log profile** - Research-based implementation with 18% gray scaling
- **Fixed sRGB to Linear conversion** - Proper gamma correction applied at correct stage for camera response
- **VFX Pipeline compliance** - Debevec now outputs professional flat, desaturated appearance (CORRECT)
- **Removed tone mapping completely** - Raw linear radiance preserved for professional color pipeline
- **Created proper HDR workflow** - Use HDR Export Node instead of built-in save nodes for EXR

### ⚠️ **Important Notes for VFX Artists:**
**Debevec/Robertson algorithms produce FLAT, LOG-LIKE images** - this is CORRECT! The flat appearance means:
- ✅ Raw linear radiance data preserved
- ✅ Wide dynamic range maintained
- ✅ Ready for professional color grading
- ✅ No "pretty" tone mapping destroying data
**Debevec/Robertson algorithms produce FLAT, DESATURATED images** - this is CORRECT! The flat appearance means:
- ✅ Perfect VFX flat log profile (18% gray scaling)
- ✅ Raw linear radiance data preserved
- ✅ Wide dynamic range maintained (up to 2000+ values)
- ✅ Professional color pipeline ready
- ✅ No color inversion issues (fixed RGB↔BGR handling)
- ✅ No tone mapping destroying VFX data
If you want a "prettier" result for display, use **Mertens** or **Natural Blend** instead.
