Adobe would have their own special reasons for using some of his stuff. I was not even aware of Rawspeed. I do use Darktable, however there is quite some discussion going on as to the quality of the images that opensource raw converters produce. Adobe seems to still be king of that hill. Or poprietary Converters such as Capture Nx2 which very unfortunately has been discontinued. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
