Frank, That makes sense. So, there's no such thing as a "standard way" to deal with floating-point samples with no S[MIN,MAX]SAMPLEVALUE information, unless you know how the image was generated and for what purpose. When you don't, then the linear scaling seems to be a good enough solution. Thanks, Simon Granger
