    I am loading an ARGB floating point EXR (or HDR) file into a multipass bitmap.

    When I query the color-mode with GetParmeter(MPBTYPE_COLORMODE) it returns COLORMODE_RGBf. I was rather expecting it to return COLORMODE_ARGBf though as this is the format of the file.

    Is the EXR/HDR importer pre-multiplying the alpha channels on loading or something similar?

    Hi Simon,

    Usually Alpha channels are stored separately.
    To get the Alpha information from the multipass bitmap you can query the alpha layers with GetAlphaLayerCount()/GetAlphaLayerNum()/GetLayers().

    Sorry for the late reply.
