Radiance RGBE is a HDR image format invented by Greg Ward Larson for his Radiance rendering software. The file extension is usually .hdr. It stores pixels as one byte RGB (red, green, and blue) values with a one byte shared exponent. Thus it store four bytes per pixel and the dynamic range covers 80 decades.
