What to expect from this conversion
- Transparency is kept in the SVG file.
- The SVG wraps your picture as embedded pixels. It scales like an SVG file but is not a traced vector drawing, so it will not become sharper when enlarged. Use a dedicated tracing tool if you need editable shapes.
- EXR holds values brighter than a normal screen can show, so the image is clipped to the displayable range and converted to sRGB. Very bright highlights lose their extra range.
