Ok, I'll make test with exr 32 float, but after all I'm pretty sure all tests will show the same thing for Shake. I saw it many times in many compositions.

Please don't feel the need to do so on my account. I don't really doubt your assertion. I was just pointing out something that immediately drew my attention when you posted your initial comparison.

I was a bit astonished when I found Houdini 10's mplay didn't read dpx.

Seriously. It's the standard for scanned plates. I haven't seen a cineon plate in years.

Even ImageMagick reads dpx now, and I'm pretty sure it's under a BSD license so SESI can shamelessly use its source code.

There is now source code for a minimal IMG_Dpx.so plugin on the Exchange (compositing section).
