Highlight Local Exposure and Bloom effects doesn’t takie into account Exposure Compensation. These parameters use original light power from before exposure compensation. I will include screens soon.
If you use very strong lighting condition like Sun and Sky power 600 and compensate exposure by -0.5 you will see that Bloom use original overexposured values to calculate where this effect should be applied. It should take into account exposure compensation to check where bloom effect should be applied.
Highlight local exposure the same.
