I'm trying to learn about HDR.  When I create the file of three images in CS4 (64bit)...I've been told I should "Save As" a radiance format (.hdr) then open the file in Photomax to process into a HDR image.  However, when I go to "Save As" in CS4 there is no option available to save in the .hdr format. How do I get this option into CS4?

If you're using Photoshop 22.x or 23.x, make sure your document is a 32-bit document (Image > Mode > 32-bits/channel) then go to File > Save a Copy... and select "Radiance" from the Format pop-up.

The HDR (Radiance) file format will only be available in 32 bit/channel.

Converting an 8 or 16 bit image to 32 bit and saving is missing the point -- you've got a low dynamic range image to start with!

THe main problem was that i`m a bit frustrated but the way to get it to save is 2 merge all your layers and than in the normal save as menu you can choose radiance (HDRI ect.)

If anyone is here, like me, with their flattened, 32bit document and still could not "save as" .hdr radiance, try 'save as copy'.  This worked for me.  Thanks for the frustration photoshop

I dont really know what kind of moron you have to be to decide to destroy the way we used to save HDR from photoshop. it was as simple as Save as, or export...  now you have to go figure, watch tutorial, for something that should be just simple...   thanks Adobe
