Taking An SDR Grade To HDR

One of the best uses for color-managed grading is the flexibility it offers for final deliverables. Making the creative grade inside a wide gamut intermediate space, then transforming into the desired display space allows for easier changes from one output format to another.

My custom ACES fixed node structure makes an SDR to HDR workflow much easier.

Notice I said easier, not easy. Taking a project from an original SDR only grade into HDR still requires both creative and technical work. The advantage color management provides is re-using as much of your original work as possible.
