NAME
       ppmtoexr - convert a PPM image to OpenEXR format

SYNOPSIS
       ppmtoexr input.ppm output.exr

DESCRIPTION
       Converts  a  PPM  file to an EXR file in [0,1].	If the input is 8 bit per channel, the input is gamma corrected according to the PPM stan-
       dard.  Images which are 16 bit per pixel are treated as linear intensity values.

       This program works with the 48 bit per pixel PPM files output by the dcraw program for converting from raw pixel formats found on many dig-
       ital cameras.
