Yeah, I had a full halt and process exception on that line too. I guess all the research, technical papers and standards development work done by SMPTE, Kodak, et al in the 1990s and early 2000s just didn't happen? Turns out Apple invented it all in 2010 (pack up those Oscars and Emmys awarded for technical achievement and send'em back boys!)
This post is written for people who have heard "HDR" and feel confused. That introduction lists two types of HDR people might think about. "The first" means "the first of two types we're going to explain," not "the first research in the chronological history of HDR."
