Clearly this is dull.
By boosting the LDR image 5X, I turned it into an HDR image. Most of it was very dark.
This is 5X in linear terms, mind you. If you're not using GC, then you're not doing linear workflow, and you will have to guess like mad.
In non-linear (no GC) workflow, a multiple of 5 is actually 5^2.2 times brighter on your screen. That's almost 35 times brighter.
In non-linear workflow, getting a 5X multiple requires that you say 2.08.
A 10X multiple is 2.85. See how difficult non-linear work is? Your lighting tweaks seem small but they're huge. The difference between 2x and 3x is very large.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
