+OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by 
+Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) for use in computer imaging applications.  
+ILM subsequently released the source code and adjoining material as open 
+source software. 
+The distribution has evolved to include support for stereoscopic and deep 
+images.  Weta Digital, Disney, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Pixar, DreamWorks
+Animation and other studios have made contributions to the code base.
+The file format has seen wide adoption in a number of industries.
+
+The library, including all contributions, is released under the modified 
+BSD license. 
+
+
+OpenEXR's features include:
+
+    * Higher dynamic range and color precision than existing 8- and 10-bit 
+      image file formats.
+    * Support for 16-bit floating-point, 32-bit floating-point, and 
+      32-bit integer pixels. The 16-bit floating-point format, called "half", 
+      is compatible with the half data type in NVIDIA's Cg graphics language 
+      and is supported natively on their new GeForce FX and Quadro FX 3D 
+      graphics solutions.
+    * Multiple image compression algorithms, both lossless and lossy. Some of
+      the included codecs can achieve 2:1 lossless compression ratios on images
+      with film grain.  The lossy codecs have been tuned for visual quality and
+      decoding performance.
+    * Extensibility. New compression codecs and image types can easily be added
+      by extending the C++ classes included in the OpenEXR software distribution.
+      New image attributes (strings, vectors, integers, etc.) can be added to 
+      OpenEXR image headers without affecting backward compatibility with 
+      existing OpenEXR applications. 
+    * Support for sterescopic image workflows and a generalisation to 
+      multi-views.
+
+Added Feature highlights for v2 release
+
+    * Flexible support for deep data. Pixels can store a variable-length list of 
+      samples and, thus, it is possible to store multiple values at different 
+      depths for each pixel. Hard surfaces and volumetric data representations
+      are accomodated.
+    * Multipart. Ability to encode separate, but related, images in one file. 
+      This allows for access to individual parts without the need to read other
+      parts in the file.
+    * Versioning. OpenEXR source allows for user configurable C++
+      namespaces to provide protection when using multiple versions of the
+      library in the same process space.
+      
+
+
+The distribution is divided into the following sub-modules:
+    * IlmBase
+    * OpenEXR
+    * OpenEXR_Viewers
+    * PyIlmBase
+    * Contrib
+    
+Please see the README files of each of the individual directories for more
+information.
