+SUMMARY="A high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format"
+DESCRIPTION="OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed \
+by Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications. OpenEXR \
+is used by ILM on all motion pictures currently in production. The first \
+movies to employ OpenEXR were Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, Men in \
+Black II, Gangs of New York, and Signs. Since then, OpenEXR has become ILM's \
+main image file format."
