Aminique Aminique Posts: 5 Filters: 6	Hello All, can somebody tell me if it is possible to create OpenEXR (.exr) and Portable Float Map (.pfm). files from pictures in .jpg format? If yes, how to proceed? My goal is to make new lighting environment from my photos. Thanks and best regards to all. Aminique.

If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up! Craig
