You have to use the formula in the tif_luv.c header comments. I agree, though, linear XYZ and letting the library do the conversion is much easier! The Radiance source tree includes some handy routines in the ray/src/common directory for fast tone-mapping from LogLuv to 24-bit RGB, and this is what I use in Photosphere. > > LogLuv TIFF format is used a number of places, notably by Renderpark > > <http://www.linux.org/apps/AppId_4060.html> and Radiance > > <http://www.radiance-online.org> (via the ra_tiff converter).

Is there a newer version somewhere else? I was there in Spring when Chris Tchou added this to their in-house version. I was hoping it would be in the official release by now. Perhaps if you nudged him and Paul a bit < tchou@ict.usc.edu; debevec@ict.usc.edu>... -Greg
