Once a .hdr file is created how do you view it?

[Gary]

This must be simple thing.

But I can't work out how to view the pano .hdr format files? Once
created.

Do I need photoshop or Lightroom?

I have generated the huge .tiff files..

To date I have been doing most of my post production work in Canon's
Digital Photo Professional - DPP which cames with the camera - 7D.
DPP does not read .tiff or .hdr

Hi Garu,

.hdr files can be opened a.o. in Photoshop.

Keep in mind that HDR images are not intended to be viewed directly. If
you need a viewable or printable image, the HDR needs to be tone mapped.
This generates a regular jpeg or tiff file which can be viewed in most
imaging applications.

It's explained in the HDR tutorial:
