What Happens When You Convert BMP to OPENEXR
Your BMP image is decoded into raw pixel data, then re-encoded as EXR.
Your BMP file is decoded — the compressed/stored pixel data is expanded into raw RGB pixels
Pixels are re-encoded using OpenEXR Image's lossless compression
Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where EXR supports it
The EXR file is saved and ready for download
