Understanding EXR and JPEG file formats

The EXR file format, also known as OpenEXR, is a high-dynamic-range (HDR) image format developed by Industrial Light & Magic. It is widely used in the visual effects industry for its ability to store a vast range of color and brightness levels, making it ideal for professional-grade image processing and compositing.

On the other hand, the JPEG file format is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. JPEG is known for its balance between image quality and file size, making it a popular choice for web use and general image sharing.

How to convert EXR to JPEG

Converting an EXR file to a JPEG format involves reducing the dynamic range and compressing the image data. This process is necessary when you need to share or display images in environments that do not support the EXR format.

  • Open your EXR file in Adobe Photoshop.
  • Go to FileExportSave for Web (Legacy).
