During November 2025, Craig Kolb contributed to the shader-slang/slangpy repository by implementing deterministic channel sorting for EXR image exports using C++ and the TinyEXR library. He developed a feature that orders image channels alphabetically when writing EXR files, ensuring compliance with the OpenEXR specification. This technical approach addressed compatibility issues with external tools, such as Tev, that expect a specific channel order, thereby preventing display errors like swapped channels. By automating channel sorting within the slangpy writer, Craig streamlined the asset pipeline and eliminated the need for manual reordering, demonstrating depth in image processing and software engineering practices.
