Burning question I’ve had about 4K BD, in particular, film transfers to the format:

Does HDR better represent the colors in the source material? Or does the HDR process add information that is not in the original film? I.e., is the innovation that the full range of color projected in theaters years ago can finally be captured and presented digitally? Or are we adding information to older films that wasn’t there?

If the latter, I’m inclined to think there is something unsavory, revisionist about the format.

Very good question that I’ve heard conflicting answers for. I’d be very interested in hearing a knowledgeable individual chime in on this.
