Encoding JPG with value > 1.0 + CATileLayer with EDR

Hi,

great to have more options about EDR on iOS, useful session.

Q1: There is a related feature that we'd like to replicate in our photo app Hydra 2. When shooting a JPG with the built-in camera app and showing it in Photos, bright area go beyond the 1.0 SDR brightness level. How can we replicate this behavior (we have the > 1.0 data internally in our app) to generate a JPG than will go > 1.0 in the Photos app? (we generate the JPG ourselves for various reasons/features, it is not made by AVFoundation APIs).

Q2: we use CATiledLayer in some part of our app, which is limited to SDR content (1.0) in iOS 15. Does it or will it get EDR capability in iOS 16 for HDR content, or is a CAMetalLayer based reimplementation still the recommendation?

Thank you.

Raphael
