fyi.. Just saw a note about these guys on DPReview, don't recall seeing mention on this list. Group apparently initiated by Microsoft, but now includes Canon and Sony along with Adobe and Nokia (!). Notably absent is Nikon. Based on a brief perusal of their initial spec, their intent seems to be to drive uniform handoff of metadata amongst different image generations. So this might apply to RawStudio's conversion step. From their initial & only spec thus far (section 1.2): -------------------------------- The intent of this document is to use the existing standards to address the key organizational metadata questions that most consumers have: Who is involved with this image (who took it, who owns it, who’s in it)? What is interesting about this image? Where is this image from? When was this image created or modified? The goal of this document is to provide best practices specifically for these critical data, with the intent of solving interoperability issues in the consumer space. -------------------------------- Even if RawStudio isn't strictly a "consumer" product (yet? :-), still might be something to keep in mind. regards, Eric
