RAW Boost filter / EDR

When processing RAW images with CIRAWFilter's extendedDynamicRange, does the boost filter’s behavior change? How does boost handle extended range values and does boost have a limit before clamping?

Also, in the RAW EDR case, should we still use the linearSpace filter or is it now fine to run filters post-boost (assuming the filters are linear-dependent and can run post-boost)

When extendedDynamicRange is used, the parameters of the boost curve are altered to allow the output to be greater than 1.

It is fine to use the linearSpace filter but be aware that the boost curve will be applied after that so it will affect the behavior of your linear filtering.
