Just took a look and, no, ACD Systems *hasn't* clarified the information on their web site: The ACDSee page still says "supports over 50 popular photo and multimedia formats, including: JPEG, TIFF, PSD, MP3, MPG, WMV, GIF, BMP, WAV, MOV, RAW" They really should make it clear that ACDSee doesn't really support RAW files without the plug-in. In fact, if you go to their "Related Plug-ins" page, the plug-in for supporting RAW files (PhotoPro) isn't even listed! -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
