Hi Jan & Jon!

This sounds interesting. We're already supporting PNG extended to support HDR images, \
so this would be very welcome. Is there already a library that implements this code? \
I don't think we'll be able to do the work on our own, but we could collaborate on \
adding a new import/export filter to Krita.
