# standardDynamicRange

In some cases it is useful to recover the color that was base the SDR color that was exposed to generate an HDR color. If a color’s linearExposure is > 1, then this will return the base SDR color. If the color is not an HDR color, this will return self.

## Declaration

```swift
@NSCopying var standardDynamicRange: NSColor { get }
```
