Which brings me to the forum question "I've got photos of 13 megapixels that Rev can't handle". Who wants to push the (Revolution) envelope that far ?

People writing tools for photographers? In my case a photographer writing tools for other photographers. ;-)

Let's assume that you are a professional. Don't use Revolution to solve this problem, it wasn't designed for that - use a professional photo program like GraphicConvertor. Of course you can alway put in a bug report, but seriously, don't you think that there are more important issues to be solved with Revolution ?

Depends. If you want to develop an app that deals with photos in almost any way (web gallery generation, digital asset management, animation, slideshows/presentations) then at this point in time you CANNOT do this in Rev* because the vast majority of consumer cameras now produce JPEGs that Rev can't handle.

If I want to knock a nail in, I use a hammer, not my shoe (which was designed for protecting my foot). Revolution is fantastic. It does so many things. Why ask it to wake you in the morning with a hot coffee ?

Because it's a whole field of apps that Rev would otherwise excel in as a development tool, apart from this one bug affecting Rev on OS X.
