question, in your workflow do you have to keep in mind the two different HDR standards currently used in TVs? HDR10 uses 10-bit, DolbyVision uses 12. if that could become a problem for private scans I don’t know. I mean do you have to think about that when you want to export into a final (possbile h.265) file?
Would appreciate an answer

As I am scanning in 16-bit, then mastering in 12bit, it isn’t much work to create a version from there to whichever standard one wants.

However, when doing the grade, the workflow is very different depending on which direction you choose, which I will go into later.

Remember, the range for different HDR TVs varies greatly, so it depends what your aim is in creating a HDR version. It doesn’t make a difference for my own viewing, as it happens in 12bit 4:4:4, but for mainstream delivery, yes there are a lot of considerations.
