storing 24-bit data in a 32-bit container. Floating point makes sense
for data with a widely varying range, b

The storage size at home isn't most important factor, but not being able

I assume the 32 bit files are 32 bit floating point - so they are
actually 24 bit files with an unnecessary 8-bit exponent field.
