Tina, it sounds like a lot of "possible" things, but that's true of almost
anything new. What I hear is that these people are pushing a specific
version of RAW file (OpenRaw)
Jeff -
Actually, what they are pushing for is for all RAW to be open. They want
all manufacturers to give photographers access to their RAW codes so that
you don't have to use specific software to convert it. When Nikon came out
with files that have to use Nikon's software to convert them, all of the
experts panicked and said that without access to RAW codes we had lost
control over our own photographs. That part actually makes sense to
me. It's not quite as bad as it sounds, though, because, so far, computer
geeks have been able to crack all of the codes that the manufacturers have
come up with so far. Read all about it here: http://www.openraw.org
