The decision of how to compress each channel is an implicit thing internal
to the openexr lib currently.

There isn't a method to test how a channel will be handled, but the logic
is basically:

If the channel name (not the layer name) is R, G, B, Y, YR, or YB, it will
be lossy compressed.

If the channel name is A, it will have a lossless method that works
reasonably with alpha.

And otherwise, its basically zip compressed.

Hope that helps!
