OpenEXR support #85

Open piegamesde opened 5 years ago

piegamesde commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to add image support for the OpenEXR format?

dragon66 commented 5 years ago

Are you talking about read/write support? Seems like there is little/no metadata information for this format.

piegamesde commented 5 years ago

Yes, I'd like to read and write them from Java in some way. What do you mean by "no metadata information"?

dragon66 commented 5 years ago

I got it. By "no metadata information", I mean there is no extra information embedded in the image such as parameters related to the camera used to take the picture, author, copyright etc. for this type of image.

I will take a look and see how hard to implement the read-write function.

piegamesde commented 5 years ago

I haven't really looked deeper into the format, but apparently it supports arbitrary metadata tags and values. But I'm more interested into reading and writing the pixel data than the metadata.
