Re: [Openexr-devel] Question about using exr PAI from C

[Chris Burns]

Konstantin,

Depending on what additional data you would like to store in the file, I'm not sure OpenEXR would be appropriate.  You may want to look at using the TIFF format, it allows you to define custom tags and embed additional image data in the file. 

Wikipedia has some documentation, including links to tiff libraries:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiff

Greg Ward's LogLuv encoding is an example of adding custom tags to tiff images:

Hope that helps,
Chris

Hello,

I've just read about OpenEXR format and got excited about its features.
I need a file format for storing 3D images in open file with an ability
to compress data and to put additional info into the same file.

As I understood I can use the API from C code. Can anybody give an
example of this kind? I really want to use C because a part of
application is ready and I feel more convenient with C than with C++.

Thank you in advance,

Konstantin
