Hi,

I finally got around to try out the new HDR features introduced in Version 3.2. Unfortunately, the 10 Bit HEIC Photos captured on my Fuji X-T5 are not recognised as HDR. HDR in general works, as Photos shot with my iPhone 15 Pro are correctly recognised. Any advice? I am running Photomator Version 3.3.9 on iOS 17.4.1 on an iPad Pro 12.9 M2.

As a reference, I exported the relevant Metadata of one of the HEIC files of my X-T5 (excluding the Thumbnails; Images #1 and #2 only as Images #3 (ID 257), #4 (ID 258), #5 (ID 259) are identical to #2):
