The idea of just picking up the camera and making a few shots without additional worries or concerns is very appealing. Over on the Photoshop User-to-User forum people are frequently lamenting that they've purchased a camera but that Adobe doesn't yet support the format. Sure, there are often work-arounds, but that can be annoying and at least somewhat time consuming.
Shel ======== Uh huh. It would be nice. Probably a big pain for Adobe too to keep updating the RAW convertor. Certainly it must be for the Irfanview guy who several people on this list wrote. And evidentially he's just one bloke. I have a feeling that eventually there may be one file format. Could be wrong, but it makes sense. DVDs, CDs, etc. have basically one format (well, not talking about the +/- R thing.) Hope RAW formats don't end up like that too, two major types. But, still, two major types would be better than lots and lots of them. Marnie aka Doe
