High dynamic-range image file format library

From openexr 3.5.3-r0 (os), captured 2026-11-05 by running exrmakepreview --help (exit 0). permalink

Usage: exrmakepreview [options] infile outfile

Read an OpenEXR image from infile, generate a preview
image, add it to the image's header, and save the result
in outfile.  Infile and outfile must not refer to the same
file (the program cannot edit an image file "in place").

Options:

  -w x          sets the width of the preview image to x pixels
                (default is 100)

  -e s          adjusts the preview image's exposure by s f-stops
                (default is 0).  Positive values make the image
                brighter, negative values make it darker.

  -v            verbose mode

  -h, --help    print this message

      --version print version information
