I overcooked the samples a bit just to make the effect more noticeable. I usually edit my photos much less strongly than that.

Also, the appropriate size halos vary depending on the display size. If you're viewing on a phone, the radius needs to be larger to not be noticeable. If I print them out A3+, though, the halos fade away and my brain interprets them as contrast in the original scene.

Should I adjust my samples?

I'm viewing on my desktop. The ones that really stood out to me as having halos were https://filmulator.org/images/photos/IMG_0866-output-small.j... and https://filmulator.org/images/photos/P6220039_rCnnq8S-output...

Not sure what the solution is. Just thought I'd add my thoughts!

Or you can try showing a a sample per device, maybe that work.

I'd really like that but I'm no web dev and it's probably challenging to do with the static site generator I'm using (Zola).

“Halo a little too pronounced? Click here to see an image adjusted for your device” > Second page/popup/whatever > “I’m viewing on: iPhone, desktop, HDR, etc” > show appropriate image.

Points being: Don’t complicate the view for most visitors, but let the pros know that they are right to ask.

There are ways to automatically show the right image, but the people who care typically get thrown off when “automagic” replaces choice
