--- Comment #12 from J <i...@j-pfennig.de> ---
Thank you for your detailed reply. Here are my conclusions:

1. My systems are Debian Bookworm, libde265-1011-1

2. Your plugin tool says libde256 does only 8-bit but on GIT they say
   that libde256 does support HDR (which makes little sense with 8-bit).
   Where does the 8-bit limit come from?

3. There should be a warning when saving from a 16 bit workspace to 8-bit Heif

4. IM does HEIF 16 bit, why not using IM to load HEIF?

5. Saving from a 16-bit workspace should offer a way to select the depth.
   This is a feature request.
   I found that 10-bit depth is a good compromise between space and quality.

6. If DigiKam does not like to support 10-Bit Tiff (which is not standard
   but understood by IM) then try to reduce colors by masking away lower bits.

7. Currently Digikam offers limited 16-bit support, best for TIFF. Hopefully
   the future development will allow a wider support for HiColor and or HDR.

8. Your Image Loader Plugin architecture is quite nice, but for several
   reasons I would like to use IM codecs, but the IM Loader cannot be selected
   for HEIF, JPegXl ... ?

It seems that there is a long way to go for DigiKam to reach full HiColor/HDR
support. Until then I will continue to use intermediate 16-bit Tiffs and
convert
to/from archive format (JPeg2000) via IM.
