[Gimp-user] Opening 16 bit SGI file

[Michael Izquierdo <mike izquierdo gmail com>]

When I open a 16 bit SGI file, it is always converted to 8 bit sRGB. I
convert it to 16 bit Linear Light and i can see the 16 bit RGB values, but
it doesn't match the hex dat that I see in the SGI file. It's close, but
not exactly the same.

SGI file value for pixel x=0, y=0 (Big Endian)
6F E8 6A 37 71 2D

Gimp values for pixel x=0, y=0
C6 9C C8 95 E1 2E

Either I have the wrong pixel value or Gimp is processing the pixels. Any
ideas?
