Hi Franco, Hard to say without seeing more of the code/coontext, but if you wish to changes the compression schemes, then you will first have to load+uncompress the data into a intermediate buffer and then recompress with the new scheme of your liking.
Other attributes, chromaticities for example, imply how the data should be interpreted and as such do not require the above uncompress-compress cycle.

The files use different compression methods. dont know know exactly what i'm doing, just try and error. the purpose of this code is to use exrstdattr as back end for a little tool im working on, a command line and gui based batch exr conversor. and sorry but i haven't found so much info about compression on exr docs or web searching :)
