JRVR tonemapping bright areas

(1/6) > >>

Hello all,
There have been great improvements to the jrvr tonemapping however there is one thing ive noticed that Im curious if anyone else has a fix for.  On certain scenes, Ive observed that bright areas of a scene are sometimes blown out temporarily and appear to fill in detail gradually. 

The best example I can provide is the very first shot of 1917 which fades onto an open field before showing the main characters. No matter what settings  I apply (at 100 nits) you can see the mountains blow out into white light before gradually re-appearing.  Is this a result of too aggressive settings, or knee adaptation etc? I try the same scene with Madvr and this blowout does not occur.

Most content looks fantastic after the updates but im wondering if perhaps others can confirm this scene and/or suggest a fix.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

What is your full version of MC?

umberto5585:
Currently on 32.0.58 64bit version... thanks for the reply.  If anyone has the same version and can find a moment to test. 1917 is a big one for us home theater guys  ;).  The timestamp is 1:00-1:10. Literal first shot after the opening titles where you can see the bright scenery in background dissapear and re-appear rather subtle. Trying to figure out what setting can modify or lessen this or if my various settings are too aggressive etc. Thanks in advance!

I'd say jrvr tonemapping does tend towards blowing out the highlights relative to madvr but it really depends exactly how you configure both of them (particularly madvr which has a million knobs to tweak)

umberto5585:
Sooo in this case.. any recommendations on what settings to tweak?? Haven't seen this come up on the thread but its a noticeable issue. I thought I should put the issue in the jrvr tonemapping discussion here but couldnt locate it. Perhaps it can be addressed in an update or something.
