Hi,

Excuse me if this is a silly question, but is there any particular
reason why graphicsmagick doesn't support the openexr format yet?
It seems like one of the most (or the most) popular HDR formats, and
apparently it's been on the graphicsmagick wishlist for at least a
couple of years.

Given that graphicsmagick supports logluv tiff (etc), I assume that it
is internally capable of representing an HDR image, and in my
experience, using the opennexr libraries is dead simple -- I implemented
openexr I/O for a personal project, and the meat of the code is only
about 25 lines (doing simple row-by-row I/O)!

Again, sorry if this is a FAQ or something.

It'd be very handy to have a general-purpose graphics toolkit with
decent hdr support...

Thanks,

-Miles
