scroll back in time to the moment when Panasonic released their first cameras with .RW2 raw files having tags for optics correction... oh... and Adobe DNG standard at the moment did not have anything to support that... so what Panasonic was supposed to do ? delay product release while Adobe was thinking how to add things to the standard ?yeah, dream on... scroll forward in time to the moment when some manufacturer will decide to surprise the market w/ super duper sensor which is multilayered and not like Sigma Foveon, but something more exotic like 4-5 layers or may be not R-G-B-G (or C-Y-G-M) but with 15 different colors in its bayer CFA... does DNG support that ? no... :wtf: ... shall that manufacturer delay the release or disclose what is cooking to a 3rd party ?<RANT>
All the manufacturers should include the option, at least, to generate DNG files straight out of the camera, and all the software vendors (C1, Aperture, etc) should support processing DNG to a fully implemented specification as first-class citizens. That would solve the current "I got my great new camera and now I have to wait an unknown amount of time before I can use it in my established workflow, with the tools I prefer..." frustration.
(Those camera vendors who want to promote that their native raw format has information that only they can process ... well, demonstrate that, show it has advantage, and then users can decide whether to use their software and the native raw format. I've never seen one wit of difference in what I can do in processing a native raw file vs a DNG, so whatever secret sauce they might want you to believe seems to be of no significant advantage to me ... !)

why do you try to generalize you inability to grasp another tool ?They work ok, but the environment is totally foreign and cumbersome compared to LR3; they are almost not worth playing with, given the wait for LR should be very short at this point.
Not a generalization, really, nor an inability, rather... simply an unwillingness on MY part to spend the time and effort - that's all. You must have misunderstood my intent... I'm not generalizing to you nor to anyone else. I added some "for me" statements to the above so as to avoid misunderstanding.why do you try to generalize you inability to grasp another tool ?
That was true then, three and a half years ago. Adobe responded within three months, certainly with Panasonic and Olympus input. It is no longer the case.scroll back in time to the moment when Panasonic released their first cameras with .RW2 raw files having tags for optics correction... oh... and Adobe DNG standard at the moment did not have anything to support that... so what Panasonic was supposed to do ? delay product release while Adobe was thinking how to add things to the standard ?yeah, dream on... scroll forward in time to the moment when some manufacturer will decide to surprise the market w/ super duper sensor which is multilayered and not like Sigma Foveon, but something more exotic like 4-5 layers or may be not R-G-B-G (or C-Y-G-M) but with 15 different colors in its bayer CFA... does DNG support that ? no... :wtf: ... shall that manufacturer delay the release or disclose what is cooking to a 3rd party ?
