What it is
----------
  This utility converts standard Radiance-type HDR images to
floating-point TIFF images. Since floating-point TIFF images
are uncompressed, they will be considerably larger. (There's no
exact ratio because the HDR file may be RLE encoded.)

Usage:
------

 hdr2tiff <image[.hdr]>

Extension is unnecessary, but recommended. Or, drag an .HDR image
onto the program using Windows.

Notes:
------
* This program does support "both" types of RLE encoding currently used
  by HDR images.

* This program creates "standard" floating-point TIFF images. VERY FEW
  image-processing utilities read these images. Photoshop does not, for
  one. The only software I know that supports it are HDRView by
  Chris Tchou and Paul Debevec, and BMRT by Larry Gritz.

* Since I could not find any information on a specific "standard" for
  FP-TIFFs, the format used by this program is basically of my own
  invention. Therefore, compatibility with all FP-TIFF-reading software
  is iffy.
