Imagine an HDR as basically a gigantic torch, in colour sourrounding a scene and beaming down onto it, exaclty liek a real sky or surrounding does. brick walls reflect light for example.

in Infinite you can chnage exposure contrast, this alters the light output from the HDR :)

normally it's set to a neutral 0.0 baseline.
