Description : High dynamic-range image format for computer imaging
OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by
Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.
OpenEXR has already been used by ILM on 4 major motion pictures --
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Men in Black II, Gangs of New
York, and Signs -- and is also being used on several other movies
currently in production.
OpenEXR's features include:
Higher dynamic range and color precision than existing 8- and 10-bit image
file formats. Support for 16-bit floating-point pixels. The pixel format,
called "half," is compatible with the half datatype in NVidia's Cg graphics
language and is supported natively on their new GeForce FX and Quadro FX 3D
graphics solutions. Multiple lossless image compression algorithms. Some of
the included codecs can achieve 2:1 lossless compression ratios on images
with film grain. Extensibility. New compression codecs and image types can
easily be added by extending the C++ classes included in the OpenEXR software
distribution. New image attributes (strings, vectors, integers, etc.) can be
added to OpenEXR image headers without affecting backward compatibility with
existing OpenEXR applications.
