C++ hdr image i/o library (linux and windows)

Question

I need to find/create a library that can load hdr images in many formats for use in opengl.

I have been using SDL_image, but it doesn't support hdr.

I don't want to use many different image libraries, so if there is one that supports a large amount (bmp, png, jpg, tiff, tga, hdr are the most important).

If there is none, I don't mind writing my own, but I need a good specification. There doesn't seem to be all that much information that I can find via google though, so I need your help.

Answer 1

How about ImageMagick? You can install HDRI support, apparently. Looks like it can be used with openGL, though I'm not sure if that suits your needs.
