Please, don't be patronizing. I'm an end-user, and we use a lot of
different
file formats here, between different departments. Don't start telling me I
don't understand something when countless applications and platforms bitch
and complain about tiff flavours, and OExr doesn't. There's an army of
people over on a 2D/3D list I'm on that beg to differ with you, me among
them.
Design specs and "rules" are meaningless if they aren't followed, or
there's
politics and lawsuits involved. OExr isn't perfect, but here we've found it
a far better solution for day to day over tiff. Where it's currently weak is
in the range of supported applications, which we're hoping will only improve.
