Hi @Thorkil ,PS
AI:
1. Can Hasselblad Phocus (v3.8.8) produce Ultra HDR JPEGs?
No, not directly in the desktop version.
I'll try the latest update for my C1pro
- Phocus Desktop (Windows/Mac): As of late 2025 (v3.8.7/3.8.8), Phocus for Windows/Mac does not officially support HDR editing or exporting of Ultra HDR (Gain Map) JPEG files.
- Phocus Mobile 2: The capability to create and export Ultra HDR JPEGs (with gain maps) is currently limited to Phocus Mobile 2 on iPad or iPhone, typically paired with X2D/CFV 100C raw files.
- Workaround: You must export from Phocus as a 16-bit TIFF, bring that into a different application (like Lightroom or a dedicated HDR tool), and then convert it to an Ultra HDR format.

PS C1pro latest edition 16.7.3.3328 can't produce an Ultra HDR jpeg, even though my screen Dell UltraSharp 32 4K Monitor (U3219Q) should be able to receive it
PPS Hasselblad Natural Noise Reduction (HNNR) feature is not available in the Phocus desktop software (version 3.8.x).
It is a specialized AI-driven feature designed specifically for the Phocus Mobile 2 app (version 3.0 and later) on iOS devices.
Yes, unfortunately all these new features are only available on Apple devices.
Apple offers advanced AI SDKs to their developers' community which facilitate the task of building AI based applications.
But I'm confident that sooner or later Hasselblad will align their Phocus Desktop for Windows as well.
As for producing Ultra HDR Jpegs, there are ways (and plugins) to do this with Photoshop starting from an exported TIFF file. I've seen some Youtube tutorials which explain the process.
This is an example of a plugin which is able to export Ultra HDR JPEGs (not affiliated!):

Thank you!
But I am a lazy person, so in the digital area I have only used Capture One.
But I will try to write Hasselblad and encourage them to implement the HNNR and UHDR in Phocus for windows
While your picture "In a foggy Berlin" shows a remarkable denoising result with a iso 6400 picture!
Kind regards Thorkil

You're welcome.
After all, right now such HDR techniques are just gimmick, but I see a bright future for HDR (pun intended).
Setting aside the nostalgia for real paper prints (which I have myself), I foresee a future where HDR displays will be the norm, and consequently HDR images. Ultra HDR Jpegs seem the right bridging technology to me, as they display normally on normal displays and as HDR on HDR displays.
By nature, I tend to to be a bit ahead of the times, that's the reason why I'm getting old faster

contrary to what some say, the GFX 100 II/100s with the 500mm lens and extender is an excellent wildlife combination I have had success capturing flying birds, and I enjoy the ability to crop and maintain noiseless compositions . I find the focusing speed and sharpness excellent. Maybe not as immediate as my Sony A1…but very close

Another one from the hike we did on Saturday, looking into the "Hare Valley" now ...
I wanted to show off the sky and still maintain detail in the trees on both sides of the valley.
Thus, the HDR functionality of the XF came to the rescue ...
