Image and File I/O
 
 
 

Composite supports OpenEXR 16-bit half float, 32-bit float and integer. This improves import workflow, footage versus composition distinction, and data extracted from the media.

Pixel Type Depth Usage
Half 16-bit floating-point number For regular image data
Float 32-bit IEEE-754 floating-point numbers Used where the range or precision of 16-bit number is not sufficient, for example, depth channel (Z)
UINT 32-bit unsigned integers For discrete pre-pixel data such as object identifiers

OpenEXR images can contain an arbitrary number and a combination of image channels. For example:
