this is a bit strange because I remember Adam's page showing raw file
processing where difference was there, in hv 2.x era  ....

are you sure you have 16 bit per channel  png as input, with levels going
up above 255?

same with exr, from, for example Blender or Natron as input?

or may be you run into fact that values clips when processed by any but
those two plugins? Then there must be some bug preventing negotiation of
float colorbuffers for plugins somewhere ...

can you try another "lowering" tecnique, like creating 0.75 exr and
subtract it from overbright image as layer/track mode?
