Mega pov 1.1...

http://megapov.inetart.net/manual-1.1/global_settings.html#post_processing

Using the RAW format (+FR switch)... but it was dropped from latest
official. I do not know if Megapov kept it.

Notice: PNG is not limited to 8 bits per channels. You can boost it up
to 16 bits per channel if you want. (yep, that's 48 RGB bits!)

PS: printf usually as an issue with double precision, do not expect all
the digits!
