Hey Tom. That's a good question... To work with HDR content, Apple XDR Display reference mode needs to be enabled on your Mac. Can you check if you are using a different one, by any chance? Here's how you can choose a reference mode: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108321

This is what I am using.

This issue probably is not restricted to the Photos extension. I usually work in Photos, but I think once when I opened a photo in Pixelmator Pro I saw the same notice.

Since the 3.5.7 update I no longer get the "... does not support HDR" warning shown above. However, the images shown while editing in Photos with the Photometer extension do show what I believe are anomalous colors and intensity, so I suspect more remains to be done before all associated problems are fixed.

Nope, false report of improvement. Too much wishful thinking, I guess. Bug remains as initially reported. Except now I can say I see it intermittently.
