It removes the requirement to run it from the current directory, which in other circumstances would be rather limiting and stupid. If you always run it from the same directory, more power to you, but there's a good reason to not require you to do so.

exrpptm(1)						      General Commands Manual							exrpptm(1)

NAME
exrpptm - performs tone mapping on an OpenEXR image (photoreceptor) SYNOPSIS
exrpptm [options] input.exr output.exr DESCRIPTION
Performs the tone mapping function described in this paper: Erik Reinhard and Kate Devlin. Dynamic Range Reduction Inspired by Photoreceptor Physiology. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Com- puter Graphics (2004). The input image should be normalized, and the output file returned by this function should also be normalized before viewing. OPTIONS
-f Controls the intensity of the resulting image. Valid range is from -8 to 8, defaulting to 0. -m Controls the contrast of the resulting image. Valid range is from 0.3 to 1.0. The default value of 0 uses an algorithm to calcu- late an appropriate m factor for the image based on its luminance. -c Amount of chromatic adaptation to apply to the image. Valid range is from 0 meaning no chromatic adaptation to 1 meaning fully adapted. Defaults to 0. -a Controls the light adaptation. Valid range is from 0 meaning that the adaptation is global to 1 meaning that the adaptation is based on pixel intensity. Defaults to 1, to trade detail visibility for contrast. AUTHORS
