Increasing the dynamic range of Environment Maps (JPG to EXR HDRI)

[Stuntkoala (Simon Storl-Schulke)]

I did a Tutorial on how to “convert” JPG or PNG Environment Maps to EXR in Blender and how to increase the Dynamic Range of it.

TL;DW
Use a Nodesetup like this, rotate Camera to face x+, render it equirectangular and save it as .exr.

please excuse my horrible german english. Terrible!
