Decoding of OpenEXR (.exr) Images

OpenEXR is an image format that is widely used, especially in VFX, because it supports lossless and lossy compression for float data.

This decoder only supports RGB and RGBA images. If an image does not contain alpha information, it is defaulted to 1.0 (no transparency).
