The Foveon sensor produces three signals, each containing different mixtures of R, G, and B. The amount of admixture expected is known, at least informally. David Coffin's DCRAW package can separate them, so third party software which uses DCRAW under the covers can handle a Foveon sensor. Bigger companies, such as Adobe and Phase One, which write clean room code, or for reasons of quality will only support cameras that they have written their own filters for, are slower to support Sigma's cameras.
