The better ones have a dynamic range of about 1000:1. So if our 32bit image si clearly visible, we probably are not much past that 1000:1 DR. and probably didn’t need to do HDR in the first place.

This is the essence of why we Tone Map images, To compress them to a point that is visible on Current Monitors and in in Print. Butwe must first capture that high dynamic range in order to get a usable HDR Tone Mapped Image

So if it looks good on your monitor then it means that 8 bits was enough? Just curious, since I’m not sure about it.
