Hi Kawecki

I share your annoyance at the use of HDRI to describe images that are not actually HDR.

This has become more of a problem currently as photographers have taken up the term when using tone mapping to merge several images from a bracketed exposure into a single image. Which is what I thought was wrong with that first Wiki article, hijacked by photographers. Having established that there are no available HDR monitors the article still describes all the images on the page as HDRI!!!!!!

It might help to do what Paul Debevec suggested; when the multiple exposures are combined in HDRshop the resulting file should no longer be described as an "image", you should use the term "probe".

Its also worth remembering that HDR probes are for 3D render engines and were never meant to be human readable!
