    it would work

    And that’s probably enough. I don’t know enough about HDR to know if it would look anything like the artist imagined, but as long as it’s close enough, it’s fine if it’s not optimal. Having things completely break is far less than ideal.

      You’d probably get some colours that end up being quite off target. But you’ll get an image to display. So in the end it depends on how much “not optimal” you’re ready to accept.

        Right, and it depends on what “quite off target” means. Are we talking about greens becoming purples? Or dark greens becoming bright greens? If the image is still mostly recognizable, just with poor saturation or contrast or whatever, I think it’s acceptable for older software.
