Re: [Openexr-devel] OpenEXR usage....

[Nafees Bin Zafar]

The real strength of openexr is it's openness.  In the past few years, 
as hdri usage has really taken off most vfx facilities have developed in 
house hacks and formats.  Everything from carrying the exponent in extra 
channels in the SGI RGB format, to floating point TIFFs, to entirely new 
file formats.

ILM has taken the step to publish theirs, and it's pretty good.  So if 
we all develop the capability to read and write exr files in our 
production pipelines, then we become interoperable with each other.
