1. A method comprising:
receiving an input image of a first bit depth in an input domain from an input video signal of the first bit depth, the first bit depth being higher than a second bit depth in a reshaping domain;
performing forward reshaping operations on the input image to generate a forward reshaped image of the second bit depth in the reshaping domain, the forward reshaping operations including wrapping input codewords in the input image along a non-wrapped axis of the input domain into reshaped codewords in the forward reshaped image in a wrapped axis of the reshaping domain, wherein the non-wrapped axis is represented as a straight line axis in the input domain; wherein the wrapped axis is represented in a non-straight-line spatial shape in the reshaped domain;
encoding, into an output video signal of the second bit depth, an image container containing image data derived from the forward reshaped image, the image data in the image container causing a recipient device of the output video signal to construct a backward reshaped image of a third bit depth for rendering on a display device, the third bit depth being higher than the second bit depth.
