Re: Need info on blobspace blobs

Madison, We use a blobspace today to store images in byte format. And I am looking to run HDR within the next year. I did not know that blobs were not supported in HDR, and so yes - having them supported would be helpful. Or if there is an easy way to migrate the images to smart blobs (which sorry if that is an easy question, I just haven't looked into it yet). Nick

Blobspace blobs are mostly unlogged - just the blob locater is actually logged.
