Convert SR to HDR

The Sun Raster (SR) file extension, is a raster graphics file format developed by Sun Microsystems for use on their SunOS operating system. This format, which stores black-and-white, grayscale, and color bitmapped data, was widely used in UNIX-based systems and supported by various imaging applications. The Sun Raster format includes a header, an optional color map, and the bitmapped image data. Although it does not support transparency, it remains a simple and widely distributed bitmap format.

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.
