DNG is a wrapper - it doesn't guarantee the raw program will correctly interpret it. Nor do all RAW converters read DNG files.

One impact that may be a little more serious than anyone anticipated - camera makers generally rely on Adobe to provide RAW conversions quickly for their new models. Although many ship their own...

It wasn't me who wanted that.

English and German have roughly the same number of phonemes (44 vs 46). More than most other European countries. However whereas German (and French, Polish, Spanish...) uses accents to change the...

I suppose no other Euro state has accountability and parliamentary democracy, so how come they seem less bothered about losing theirs?  Indeed many would argue they have more democracy in some Euro...

No, we wiped most of them out with smallpox, opium, concentration camps (Boer War), shooting and slavery.  And you want to stop doing business with Germany and focus on China, a country with a...

Or Portuguese... ;-)

What Abobe should have done:  Move to a single, continuous support model by all means but: Firstly, there is no need to "sign in" to validate - they can just check your payments are up to date...

Not at all, in the end the very fact that you have to be re-elected means you cannot do anything too badly wrong. The only alternative is dictatorship or monarchy. But too much interference in...

I have no intention of being defensive, when it is clearly the case that you and some of our German friends make fewer mistakes than some Republicans less well rounded native English...

What appals me more than the sheer arrogance of this response is the complete lack of creative imagination involved. Instead of letting the techies propose a solution that would keep photographers...

Only if released in its native form (spillage), and it only causes cancer in high concentrations (as does fried food). It can easily be broken down biochemically in drinking water. The reason it...

No, it's precisely why democracy works at all, because as long as people are reasonably well off, not hungry and their kids are happy they generally would rather not know about all the third world...

No, I am saying that IF you accept that phenotypes can mutate, then you also allow for the fact that one species can evolve into another, given enough successful adaptations.

In fact it's a disaster. Many acres of CO2 absorbing forest and agricultural land that was used for cropping has been turned over to biofuel production. Not only is there still a net reduction in...

So if something goes wrong with their license checker, your company stops working. Nice. Hope they enjoy lawsuits.

Not unless they can print ammunition.

Yeah, I know you now, aren't you the Adobe Customer Relations Director?

Worldwide I would bet there are more than 100,000 enthusiasts and solo pro photographers who use PS. Probably even 500,000. Still probably small beer as far as Adobe are concerned as it apparently...

No, they are effectively forcing me to pay a lot more for legally licensed software, or do thousands of hours work for no value to myself simply because of their market position.
