DaVinci Resolve also supports OpenEXR format with the added magic of LUT.

PNG is popular with some Commercial Application developers, but the exposure and color problems still look 1980's awful in some use-cases.

Even after spending a few grand on seats for a project, one still gets arrogant 3D clown-ware vendors telling people how they should run their pipeline with PNG hot garbage as input.

People should choose EXR more often, and pick a consistent color standard. PNG does not need yet another awful encoding option. =3

What are some "consistent color standards" you'd recommend? Honest question.

What are you talking about? It's a bitmap. It has nothing to do with "exposure and color problems."
