pfsinpfm(1)						      General Commands Manual						       pfsinpfm(1)

NAME

       pfsinpfm - Load images or frames in PFM format

SYNOPSIS

       pfsinpfm (<file> [--frames <range>] [--skip-missing])  [<file>...]

DESCRIPTION

       Use  this  command  to read frames in PFM format. PFM format is used for HDR Shop plug-ins and is also supported by some recent versions of
       NetPBM package (pamtopfm and pfmtopam commands). The frames are converted to pfs stream and send to the Standard Output. This  command  can
       handle both color and gray-scale images.

       Details on the format of the pattern file names, which are used for reading multiple frames, can be found in the manual page of pfsinppm.

       To automatically recognize a file format from the extension, use pfsin command instead.

EXAMPLES

	pfsin memorial.pfm | pfsout memorial.hdr

	      Converts from one HDR format to another

BUGS

       pfsinpfm  does  not handle images that store floating point numbers using big-endian format. pfsoutpfm may also read floating point numbers
       incorrectly on big-endian machines.

pfsinexr(1)						      General Commands Manual						       pfsinexr(1)

NAME

       pfsinexr - Load images or frames in OpenEXR format

SYNOPSIS

       pfsinexr [--keep-rgb] (<file> [--frames <range>] [--skip-missing])  [<file>...]

DESCRIPTION

       Use this command to read frames in OpenEXR format. The frames are converted to pfs stream and send to the standard output. This command can
       read arbitrary channels from OpenEXR files; color channels XYZ are however specially handled (see option keep-rgb).

       pfsinexr reads also all string attributes from OpenEXR file and write them as tags in pfs stream. Attributes of other types are ignored. If
       attribute name contains a colon (:), the part before colon is treated as a channel name and the attribute is assigned to that channel (sim-
       ilar notation as command line argument of pfstag program).

       pfsinexr recognizes OpenEXR standard attribute WhiteLuminance and multiplies the data by that value to get absolute luminance  values  (see
       also  --fix-halfmax  switch  in pfsoutexr). Additionally the tag LUMINANCE is set to ABSOLUTE unless OpenEXR files contains attribute LUMI-
       NANCE set to semething else. That is the channel Y is assumued to represent absolute luminance levels in cd/m^2.

       If an OpenEXR file contains 'Z' channel, it is renamed to 'DEPTH' to avoid conflict with the Z color channel for the XYZ color space.

       Details on the format of the pattern file names, which are used for reading multiple frames, can be found in the manual page of pfsinppm.

       To automatically recognize a file format from the extension, use pfsin command instead.

       --keep-rgb
	      By default, color channels R, G and B from an OpenEXR file are converted to XYZ color space, which is  suggested	format	for  color
	      data in pfs. When keep-rgb option is specified, color channels RGB are stored as they are without any conversion.

EXAMPLES

	pfsin memorial.exr | pfsout memorial.hdr

	      Converts from one HDR format to another

BUGS

       pfsinexr and pfsoutexr can not take stdin / stdout as an input/output (dash '-' instead of file name).
