jpegtoexr(1)

πŸ“¦ version 0.4, in nixos 26.05

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, this is jpegtoexr(1) from the General Commands Manual β€” the page for jpegtoexr, and its whole main-character job is literally this: convert a JPEG image to OpenEXR format. slay. πŸ’–βœ¨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

two filenames, one vibe check: JPEG goes in, EXR comes out. πŸ¦‹

jpegtoexr input.jpg output.exr

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea β˜•: jpegtoexr converts a JPEG file to an EXR file in [0,1] β€” the [0,1] is literally right there, no cap. πŸ’…

the way it does this is lowkey iconic: the program reads the JPEG file in Y'CbCr format and converts to RGB itself, to hopefully gain some extra precision when storing in EXR format. so yes bestie, it's doing that RGB conversion on its own β€” and the hopefully is very much part of the sentence. 😭✨
