OpenEXR solved that problem years ago and it's supported by virtually all content creation tools. An open source implementation with a well designed C++ api and bindings to several other languages.
For reasons that I don't understand, it's adoption is weak outside of the VFX industry.
- jbarham 13y agoYeah, OpenEXR (http://www.openexr.com/ http://www.openexr.com/) is a very nice format, well designed and documented, and with an open-source implementation. Apart from VFX and post-production, OpenEXR has also become the standard file format in HDR applications. IMHO it isn't mainstream yet because most people don't know what HDR imaging is and why current image formats are inadequate for HDR. For still image editing Photoshop is overwhelming dominant, whereas in VFX pipelines there's a lot of custom tools so you need an open format.
