The code for converting canon RAW files to jpg or TIFF is available as reverse engineered open source.
Everytime I write CRW files to a CD, I put a copy of the C source code in a seperate directory on the same CD, in addition to JPGs of the RAW images. 20 years from now, assuming I've taken care of my data, I should be able to compile that code and convert my RAW images to JPG or TIFF. Or figure out how to write them to another format. If C/C++ programming isn't your thing (it isn't mine), don't worry, there will still be people who would be able to help you if you can give them the source code. Cheers, Shashvat ============================================================================ == This is a good idea. But how many people still have, for example, COBOL or FORTRAN 4 compiler on their computer now? What if C is also a "thing of past" 20 years from now, which is entirely possible?
