#OpenEXR best practices
- Real-Time Playback/Compositing: Use B44/B44A or DWA for faster I/O .
- CGI/Rendered Content: ZIP (lossless) or PIZ (smaller files) .
- Texture Maps: ZIP for fast access .
- Layered EXRs: ZIPS for scanline efficiency .
- Avoid Lossy Compression for non-color data (e.g., normals, depth). #exr #vfx #rendering #b3d #CGI

I dare say a better name for #EasyCLA would be "convoluted and broken CLA".

Even after I was finally able to submit the CLA for #OpenEXR, the company couldn't find it. After another attempt, they were finally able to approve it. Except that it still claimed I'm unapproved.

However, that's not a problem anymore, because some random decided to take my patch, up to the commit message, wipe my authorship from it and submit it with a closing tag on my pull request — and upstream gladly merged that. I mean, it was a trivial patch (so trivial the whole CLA business was entirely pointless), so it's not like it matters, but it still feels wrong when people steal your work and remove authorship.

I released v2.1.0 of my #research oriented #HighDynamicRange image viewer HDRView yesterday. Worked on lots of changes and improvements over the holiday break. Get the deets and binary downloads at the link below.
