Description

I'd like to see a True HDR workflow (not the fake one where you combine 3 images together). Both Google and Apple have formats for their phones/laptops that Lightroom now supports, and then exporting to Instagram enables these ultra-bright images to be viewable on phones. This is a must have for instagramers because these images get attention. Right now, there's not a single open source app that can deal with that, it's only Lightroom and Photoshop. We need this feature too.

Research direction

Start by reviewing darktable's existing HDR and export workflows, then investigate the Google and Apple HDR formats referenced in the issue. The work is done when darktable can process true HDR images and export them for Instagram viewing, but the issue does not identify files, entry points, or tests.
