OpenEXR Plug-in

Hey guys,
I am K Sashi Kumar, doing 2nd year Undergraduate at College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG) Anna University, Chennai. I have been trying to contribute to GIMP for some months. I am a beginner in Open Source environment - https://github.com/ksashikumar

I worked on the bug - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649172 and trying to fix the UTF-8 un-escaping. I also did a simple plug-in for exporting layers to file (http://registry.gimp.org/node/28015)

I am willing to do a plug-in for GIMP that would import/export the OpenEXR files with settings since GIMP can now work on 32-bit pixel data. It would be a great plug-in for VFX designers. GEGL already has operation for loading and saving EXR files. But I think loading multiple layers is not possible through GEGL right now. So I would write code for:

* Importing EXR files with settings, * Exporting EXR files with settings, * Loading multiple layered EXR files

The plug-in would be similar to ProEXR - http://www.fnordware.com/ProEXR/ which is for photoshop.

I discussed this with the OpenEXR developers and I will also get help from them. Also I would like to extend this for GSoC. Can somebody help me?
