It would be really nice to try a version of POV that supported this as
an output format. Of course, I'd need a Photoshop-compatible plugin,
or perhaps something to plug into Gimp, in order to tweak the image
and convert it to a more common format, for final printing or public
distribution. This is the sort of thing I had always envisioned for
POV-Ray. I just hope this format receives widespread use and respect.
It seems to have a lot of potential.
Later,
Glen

Do you know Film Gimp? That's an independend Gimp release for motion
pictures (of course you can use it for stills, too). As far as I know the
next release will support OpenEXR. I think that you have much more control
to tweak and manipulate the HDR images than with HDRShop. In my opinion
this is a big advantage and a good reason to implement OpenEXR into
MegaPOV, MLPOV or whatever. Hey, and isn't it a nice thing to have ILM
technologie implemented in POV ... ;)
Regards,
Andreas
