Re: [Openexr-user] Using OpenEXR to create HDRI images?

[Florian Kainz]

Converting an image file to OpenEXR format will not add new information
that wasn't already in the original file.  If you convert a JPEG file
to OpenEXR, then you can change the exposure within the viewer, but
you won't see anything that you couldn't see by viewing the JPEG image
directly.  OpenEXR is a file format, not an image enhancement tool.

Most of the OpenEXR sample images were generated by combining multiple
exposures.  A few images were shot with a special high-dynamic-range
camera; the rest are computer-generated.
