About the HDR format
HDR — Radiance RGBE High Dynamic Range
HDR (Radiance .hdr) is a high dynamic range image format developed for the Radiance rendering system. It stores luminance information far beyond standard 8-bit images using a shared-exponent encoding, making it the standard for HDR environment maps in 3D rendering.
Common uses
- 3D rendering environment maps (IBL)
- HDR panorama photography storage
- VFX and CGI lighting reference images
- Tone mapping source images
About the PAM format
PAM — Portable Arbitrary Map
PAM is an extended Netpbm format that generalizes PBM/PGM/PPM to support arbitrary numbers of channels and depths. It can store RGBA (color with transparency), CMYK, or any custom multi-channel image, making it the most capable member of the Netpbm family.
Common uses
- RGBA image storage with transparency
- Multi-channel scientific image data
- Flexible image pipeline interchange
- Extending Netpbm workflows to alpha and CMYK
