Convert SCT to HDR

The Scitex Continuous Tone (SCT) file format, developed by Scitex, is used for high-end image processing and supports CMYK, RGB, and grayscale images. SCT files are uncompressed, ensuring high image quality, and are typically used with Scitex graphics processors and image editing software. This format was designed to maintain the integrity of large, detailed images used in professional graphics workflows.

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and in the context of Radiance, it refers to a file format used for storing high-quality images. The Radiance HDR format was developed as part of the Radiance rendering system, which originated in the late 1980s at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Its primary use is in the field of computer graphics, where it captures a wider range of luminance levels compared to standard formats, enabling more realistic lighting effects. This format is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring precise light measurements and accurate visualizations, making it indispensable for professionals in fields such as architectural visualization and visual effects.
