OpenEXR Format Support
Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2023 8:16 am
Long-time GraphicConverter user here. I'm having trouble with some image files purporting to be in OpenEXR format.
I am a user of the Poser 3D figure posing and rendering software. Poser uses OpenEXR format to cache its HDRI capable renders and until recently, all valid renders were viewable with the macOS QuickLook plugin and GraphicConverter.
Recently, Poser has added Intel denoising functionality, and saves those modified renders back to its cache as OpenEXR files, however, such files cannot be opened by opened by the latest macOS QuickLook plugins or GraphicConverter. However, Adobe Photoshop 2023 DOES open such files, implying that there is a more recent standard (I assume) for that file format.
I have requested the relevant information from the Poser developers regarding their OpenEXR file saving routines and intend to forward that here pending receipt and approval, even if it's just a specification reference.
I can provide examples of both formats for comparison, when required, but they are over the size limit for posts here.
