After Effects and Photoshop can open exr but as far as I can see not render as exr. Did not find the option in the Adobe Media encoder either... Fnodware seems to be for CS3 but maybe it works for Adobe CC too.

Sorry I was blind found the option in After Effects. It looks like they integrated the plugin from fnodware into after effects. Now wondering if i can find it in Photoshop too.

Photoshop also has OpenEXR but only when your image is 32bit. Otherwise it doesn't show up as a save option for whatever reason.
Maybe try the Photoshop Trial of ProExr, should allow you to save as 16bit aswell.

<p>I want to prepare my Magic Lantern Raw files for Nuke. I use Photoshop to convert DNG to a 16bit tiff and then re-encode them to a 16bit exr sequence. I wish I could directly save as exr.
I know i could use Davinci Resolve I just don't like the workflow with Davinci...</p>

Is there a way to directly save DNG Sequences to 16bit exr Sequences in Photoshop or After Effects?
