...well, I hope you do not see it this way.
I have written a little software tool called IC, that might come in
handy, especially if you are using POV-Ray 3.7 beta.
IC combines the features of common image viewers but with full
read/write support for HDRI formats (as you know it from HDRShop)
and it supports a lot more HDR formats than HDRShop does.
E.g. OpenEXR from ILM, a nifty file format that is also supported for
read/write by POV-Ray 3.7. So you can use IC to open the famous
Kitchen-Probe, remap it from angular to latitude/longitude (as
needed for POV 3.7 with map_tape 1) and save it as OpenEXR file.
POV-Ray 3.7 OpenEXR output can be enabled with 'E' option, as I did, by
writing Output_File_Type=E into povray.ini.
OpenEXR files provide a 'higher' dynamic range and higher precession
than the usual (and quite old) Radiance format - and it supports alpha
channels.
IC can also help you in avoiding color banding as it uses a dithering
method when it converts to simple 8bps formats like e.g.jpeg.
I've been told that IC works with VISTA but I had no chance to test this
by myself. I would also be interested if it works by using WINE. Yes,
sorry, no Linux version yet.
I did quickly put up a web page (somehow functional, I hope, but
unfinished) where you can read the related documentation and download
IC. I just wanted to make it available before easter because I'm quite
in a hurry in the moment and I know that I will have no time for working
on IC during the next few weeks. RL, you know.
But feel free to email me directly if you have any trouble with IC.
happy easter everybody

Works fine here on Fedora with Wine... and looks very useful after playing
with it for some minutes: just the thing I was looking for, so I can render
all my scenes directly to hdr format. Many thanks!

Good to know and thanks a lot for trying it out.

I've installed Wine recently to try Adobe Reader, as a customer sends me
PDFs with annotations which I cannot see with Linux viewers. It worked
nicely... and seems to work fine with anything I try. Poseray works very
well, and I finally discovered how good it is at exporting to POV-Ray. And
I've just tried the last 3.7 beta, and works like a charm: it even uses 2
threads!
Now I'm trying to figure out how to make IC the default app to open HDR
files from my file manager...

Can't you install Adobe Reader on linux instead? I use it every (though I've
stuck to version 7, as the new versions don't allow to "page back" to a
just closed file). I've seen annotations with this version, and even
created them (for PDFs with this feature enabled), unles the "annotations"
you mean are a different thing.
Try here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/

IIRC, I had a problem with a lot of dependencies and then thought that
using Wine with the Windows version would take less time (I had to comment
on the annotations urgently). But I'm glad it served to re-evaluate Wine:
it's very useful to run these "must-have" applications that only run on
Windows, like IC or Poseray.

Well, finally I did put up two CGI&M items and more to come, but the
'music' requires an ActiveX component and I guess I have to rethink this
whole mess, maybe a blog-like setup would be better, anyway thats it for
now so...
...enjoy
