Sorry about that. High dynamic range image can be thought of as having 3 floating point values for RGB instead of 8 or 16 bits per channel (usually expressed in 4 unsigned chars as RGB and an exponent). It is pretty hot in computer graphics since raytracing algorithms can output not just color but actual "brightness" values of the scene. -Mok > -----Original Message----- > From: Kelly Lynn Martin [mailto:kelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thursday, October 21, 1999 5:04 PM > To: Byong Mok Oh > Cc: gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: high dynamic range images > > > On Thu, 21 Oct 1999 15:28:48 -0400, "Byong Mok Oh" > <boh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> said: > > >Hi, Has anyone written a plug-in that reads in a high dynamic range > >images? > > You'll have to define what you mean by "high dynamic range image". > > Kelly >
