Betis The Blacksmith Posts: 1100 Filters: 73	As a photographer I would love to use FF as a means of processing some photos (as opposed to Lightroom), but I have to export my image as lower quality LDR format. I think it would be great to be able to work with my maximum data images in FF (maybe imports as an HDR file or something?) If there is already a similar solution please let me know Roses are #FF0000 Violets are #0000FF All my base are belong to you.

Skybase Who are you? Posts: 1951 Filters: 58	Would love that support! I have so many pictures stored in that and I usually don't even open Photoshop to run FilterForge. Ghislaine, you can export HDR via EXR. It'll store all float point values and alpha channels.

Ghislaine Ghislaine Posts: 1562 Filters: 91	Thanks Skybase, I didn't know that. In fact, I had never saved a file in EXR because I did not know what it was. The website where I sale my stuff takes HDR but not EXR, so... Ghislaine @ http:3dscreensaver.t15.org

Skybase Who are you? Posts: 1951 Filters: 58	You should use photoshop and convert exr files to .HDR file format. Just saying Radiance HDR file format tends to lack out on some aspects as far as I know. It doesn't support alpha layers, doesn't do a good job saving RGB values (was it because it stores RGB with the same exponents?) But its compact which is what makes that file format nice. EXR file formats do save tons of data in multiple channels (normal, bump, AO, rAO, reflectivity, R, G, B, alpha, in 16, 32 float or integers) can be stored which is why it's a widely used format. End of rant.
