The KDE/Qt-aligned Krita digital painting application is the latest creative app now supporting high dynamic range (HDR) on Linux when using Wayland.
Merged on Thursday to the Krita codebase was initial HDR support for this popular digital painting program as a popular alternative to the likes of Adobe Photoshop. This basic HDR support allows using 10-bit color to the Krita OpenGL canvas and also making the necessary Wayland surface changes for supporting HDR mode.
Developer Dmitry Kazakov is the one that worked through this initial HDR support for Kita. This follows recent work to Krita on [1]supporting Wayland color management . Again, this only works on Linux if using Wayland and not the X.Org Server due to not having proper HDR infrastructure there.
See [2]this merge request for the now-merged basic Krita HDR support to be found in the project's next release.
