I don't think making things up is the problem, it's if it's believable. If it's indistinguishable to a viewer, then who cares. I never would have thought the HDR of the clouds was "made up".

Maybe I'm odd, but a big part of art to me is seeing things how the creator intended it to be seen.

So I calibrate all my media consumption displays etc. I could never see myself using some automated SDR -> HDR conversion like this.

Even if it looks natural, it doesn't look like it was supposed to, and I want to see it how it was supposed to look.

I would use it on every single video I've ever made myself, because intent had nothing to do with how my videos look. They were made with then best camera I had available, and HDR has only been available relatively recently.

This is a tool that I want to use. If nobody can tell I used it, that's a good thing for me. If you don't want to use it, then nobody is making you.

Depends of course if it's being passed off as reality. Slippery slope and all.
