I am trying to get away from using floating point due to the bloated file size. Yes, I can always convert everything to a different format after I have it where I want, but again, that is additional steps.

But anyway... Can you really correct a floating point to that degree in Combustion?

I have used PhotoShop in the past with floating point files, but decided that the degree to which they were adjustable was dissapointing, and not worth the extra steps. Especially since the DMVC where I learned Lon's camera raw trick, which I do not think works with either EXR's or HDR's.

I have Combustion 4 sitting on my shelf, but have not worked it in to my production work flow yet.
