>From dpreview: "Those of you have waiting anxiously for C1-LE, you will find some bad news regarding today's update to version 3.5. The product no longer supports 16-bit output. You might want to add your voice to the storm of protest, as I have:
As a Pentax *ist-D user, I was looking forward to purchasing C1LE in v3.5. It is difficult, though, to swallow the increase from $99 to $249 (for the C1-SE version) when the Pentax converter already supports full 16-bit TIF output. Some folks will make due with Pentax to Picture Window Pro. Others will probably come to the conclusion that they should just bite the bullet and go with PS-CS. From a marketing standpoint, wouldn't Phase 1 do better making 1,000 $99 sales rather than 100 $249 sales? Bottom line, folks who are interested in the quality step up promised by C1 are never going to be satisfied with the quality sacrifices inherent in 8-bit output. http://www.pictureflow.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4160"; > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Loveday [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 27 May 2004 12:22 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: C1 RAW Workflow v3.5, with Pentax Raw support > > > Due to be released "later today", apparently: > > http://www.rawworkflow.com/ > > Hmm, there's a 15 day trial download.
