Photoshop RAW file format 32 bit floating point?

Is there a version of the Photoshop RAW file format for 32 bit floating point?   Not Camera RAW!!!   At present, all I see only are 8 and 16 bit formats.  Be nice to have 32bit.

Comments?

So how do I try to get the PS RAW format to handle 32 bit floating point?

It so happens using PS RAW output is the only efficient way to get a

binary file from Javascript. The client wants a binary flat file with 32

bit.

Thanks for your patience.

Are your Photoshop Raw files already 32 Bits/Channel?

What version of photoshop are you using?

In the open photoshop raw options dialog in Photoshop cc 2017 there is 32 bit and i tested it by saving a 32 bits/channel image in photoshop raw and reopening it and it's still 32 bits/channel.

    Had already been there.  I need to move the 32bit files to another environment which they are now using 16 bit Photoshop RAW as the medium.  I was hoping I could change the script to do it.  How do I get Adobe to update for 32Bit Photoshop RAW?

    Thanks for helping.
