The program is capable of importing a wide range of standard, RAW and HRD image formats, among which we can mention JPG, CR2, HDR, and PFM, and can export images to Picasa and Flickr, as well as to export to low dynamic range (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), linear high dynamic range (PFM, EXR) and 16-bit (PPM, TIFF) images.
