openexr rocks!

since i’ve tested some workflows for the post production of my upcoming short “border”, i came across the awesome openexr format. you can just save all your passes right into this image format and access them in post, if your software supports it. i experimented a little using photoshop and after effects in combination with the fabulous proexr plug-in, which also offers a nice add-on to automate the creation of the composition layers in after effects. check out the manufacturer’s manual, it’s worth reading it; also to learn more about this image file format in more depth.
