uncle808us Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 OpenEXR Overview[edit] A full technical introduction of the format is available on the OpenEXR.org website. OpenEXR, or EXR for short, is a deep raster format developed by ILM and broadly used in the computer-graphics industry, both visual effects and animation. OpenEXR's multi-resolution and arbitrary channel format makes it appealing for compositing, as it alleviates several painful elements of the process. Since it can store arbitrary channels—specular, diffuse, alpha, RGB, normals, and various other types—in one file, it takes away the need to store this information in separate files. The multi-channel concept also reduces the necessity to "bake" in the aforementioned data to the final image. If a compositer is not happy with the current level of specularity, he or she can adjust that specific channel. Please. Quote Mac MacBook Pro 15 in.

uncle808us Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 ".afdesign and .afphoto are the same format - just with different names - and they will both support 32-bit HDR completely" from Andy. And: "As well as being able to keep the .afphoto file, we are also adding import / export support for OpenEXR and JPEG-XR - both of which can store 32bit unbounded."from Andy as well.
