--- Comment #12 from Derrick Coetzee <d...@moonflare.com> 2009-08-29 04:15:14 UTC --- OpenEXR is nice, but it was designed by ILM primarily for digital rendering. The idea of using it to represent camera raw image files is speculative at best, and there are no existing converters as far as I know from any proprietary camera raw format to OpenEXR, which makes that idea completely untenable. The developers on the OpenEXR list even recommended the use of DNG instead of OpenEXR (e.g. see this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/openexr-de...@nongnu.org/msg00722.html). DNG is designed specifically for this purpose, has mature supported converter tools, and an open specification; and there is at least one DNG converter for Linux available, Digikam (http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/373). Just as importantly, all DNG files are valid TIFF files, which can be read by any application supporting TIFF (although they'll look dark and not too pretty). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
