Quote - What's wrong with the EXR format, Shawn? I can open EXR renders from Vue in Phoyoshop, and they are seen as 32bit floating point images....

Monkeycloud, just be sure to uncheck Auto exposure and Natural film response in the camera post render options. This limits the dynamic range of the image.

Thanks Bruno. Yes, I'm unchecking those two options in the post render... Vue 10 told me I should in fact... so I obeyed :-)

I haven't looked at EXR... but its just HDR I need currently.

Certainly the HDR file output seems to open correctly in PS... it's just that on analysing the image, apparently, it doesn't encompass the full range of (0,0,0) <= rgb <= (20,20,20).

Cheers
