I haven't played around that much with HDR images, but on the few occasions that I have, I have always wondered which is the best format to save the 32bpc file in. With "best", I mean most cross-application compatible, file size, etc.
PS CS3 can save as PSD, Radiance HDR, PBM, OpenEXR and TIFF. The TIFF format is not Logluv TIFF, which makes me wonder what it is, since Logluv TIFF was apparently developed to store HDR images.
IIRC, Photomatix stores as Radiance HDR, which leads me to beleeve that maybe that is the safest format. It is also around 1/3 the size of the PSD version.
So what are the pros and cons on these formats?
