- Description
- HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) is a file format used for images that preserve a wide range of luminance levels, more than what standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods can capture. This allows for more accurate representation of the intensity and range of light in real scenes, from direct sunlight to faint starlight. HDRI files are often used in 3D modeling, visual effects, and photography to achieve more realistic lighting and shading. They can store image data with a greater bit depth per channel than standard 8-bit images, enabling finer gradations of shade and light.
- A CUR file is a cursor image or animation used for the Windows mouse pointer. It may be an arrow (for general use), a spinning hourglass (for waiting periods), or an I-bar (for text editing).
