Of course, as has been pointed out, Capture One *does* support DNG, they just provide the scary disclaimer about camera-specific features not necessarily being supported. There two reasons for their doing so, both of which are conveniently covered by three-letter-acronyms: CYA and FUD. CYA (Cover Your Ass) is because they're worried about people bitching when a new camera adds data that isn't currently supported. They're just pre-emptively protecting themselves from whiners. FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) is how they're trying to protect their own interests: They don't want to kill the goose that keeps laying the profitable (to them) egg of multiple new raw formats. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
