>>2908891>>2908892That picture is from a time when /p/ largely couldn't tell the difference between HDR and tone-mapping. I remember when it starting showing up. When that chart referenced HDR, it means this. The reason that the quality of photos goes down so much during this era (aside from the hideous look of tone-mapping) is that the photographer doesn't have to think about light anymore. Light is the most important aspect of any photograph, as photography is literally the graphing of light. But tone-mapping crushes all images regardless of the quality of light to look basically identical. This is not what we're doing in multiple exposure and/or multiple process images. In fact, if you can tell that it isn't a single exposure even a little bit, you've done it wrong.
