About the PNM format
PNM — Portable Anymap
PNM is a generic designation for any of the Netpbm formats (PBM, PGM, PPM). Many tools accept or produce PNM files that can be any of these three types, auto-detected by the header. It serves as a universal plain-image interchange format.
Common uses
- Generic Netpbm image interchange
- Flexible input for image processing tools
- Command-line and scripting image workflows
- Converting images when type may vary
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
