Description
I encountered an issue where OpenEXR image data is being incorrectly altered during loading when using the HalfVector4 floating-point pixel formats
OpenEXR frequently stores High Dynamic Range (HDR) color data in floating-point formats, which means values often exceed the [0, 1] range. However, the current loading logic clamps and scales these values, destroying the original raw data.
I traced the issue to two specific areas in the codebase: In ExrDecoderCore.cs (around line 225): pixelRow[x] = TPixel.FromAssociatedScaledVector4(pixelValue); If TPixel is HalfVector4 and the EXR pixel type is half or float, the RGB channels are clamped to [0, 1] and then scaled/biased to [FiniteMinimum, FiniteMaximum]. This breaks the original floating-point data. I believe the clamp and scale operations should be avoided here.
As a side note for other floating point pixel format like RgbaHalf and RgbaVector.The FromAssociatedScaledVector4 method calls FromVector4(Vector4 source). Inside FromVector4, the original values are explicitly clamped to [0, 1]. This also breaks the raw EXR data.
Steps to Reproduce
load a openEXR file in HalfVector4 or HalfVector4P format,then check the pixel value of ToVector4();
