[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/4] vf_tonemap: Update the default peak values

[Vittorio Giovara]

When there is no metadata attached to a frame, take into account both
the PQ and HLG transfers, and change the HLG default value to 10:
the value of 12 is the maximum range in scene referred light, but
the reference OOTF maps this from 0 to 1000 cd/m² on the ideal HLG
monitor.

This matches what vf_tonemap_opencl does.
