    Hello, I have a few instances where I am using a canvas in world space. Is there a way to enable HDR color picking for UI elements to create objects with bloom on canvases?

    You would be better off creating the text in photoshop, going to it's blending options, adding outside bloom (I think its called that) and export it as a png to unity.

    Consequently preventing your game to be localized effectively.

    I had the same problem and I ended copying the Unity UI shader and just adding the HDR tag to it :

    1. Create a new shader.
    2. Copy the default shader code in it from the built-in shader you want to use.
    3. In the properties at the beginning of the shader, add "[HDR]" in front of the color properties you want to be HDR.
