            Bug ID: 416772
           Summary: Warnings regarding HDR mode in Save -> PNG options and
                    Render Animation dialog
           Product: krita
           Version: 4.2.8
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: HDR
          Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
People are often confused about HDR options in PNG options:
https://www.reddit.com/r/krita/comments/etwe3h/help_exporting_transparent_png/
and animation:
https://www.reddit.com/r/krita/comments/epbwuy/grey_washed_out_colors_when_exporting_animation/
, (here most probably the same issue: )
https://www.reddit.com/r/krita/comments/emku5w/greyed_out_rendered_videos_and_animation/

I know we cannot assume that someone didn't just want to save in a weird
format, but a warning here and there would protect our less technical users
(and in case of animation, I guess everyone, because in "Video" tab there is no
access to PNG options while they still affect the result, and it's a bit
tedious to check it every time).


SITUATIONS that I believe need some warnings:
1.
- Image color space: 8bit sRGB
- Save as PNG
- HDR turned on
2. 
- Image color space: Rec2020
- Save as PNG
- HDR turned off
3. 
- 1. but with animation
4. 
- 2. but with animation
5. 
- PNG options with HDR turned on, animation with HDR turned off (because frames
are in PNG)
6.
- PNG options with HDR turned off, animation with HDR turned on (because frames
are in PNG)

Regarding 5. and 6., maybe it would be even possible to somehow switch both
together? Maybe Video and Frame options could be at least in dialog so we could
control it better?
