Could be useful for documentary and legal stuff.

I remember Canon does something like that, but they are not encrypting entire image. Canon attach something like CRC code to image so authencity can be verified.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/
AIM owns the words you use to message ppl.

This was Nikon backing down - and Adobe winning. And that's a good thing. Now, if only they can convince camera manufacturers (besides Hassleblad and Leica which have already done it) to accept their DNG RAW format, we would have photo harmony. Like back when we all used a few standardized film formats (35mm, Medium Format, Large Format, 110, etc.) that worked in all cameras of a given film size.

When that happens, photographers will once again OWN their intellectual property. It is inexcusable that Canon and Nikon and others have proprietary RAW formats. And there's NO reason not to adopt DNG other than silly nonsense about locking people into one camera line.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/
And I'm afraid to say the letters G, I, M, and P because then I'll be attacked, saying that I should plonk down $$$ for software that wont run on my machine, and then say I should plonk down more $$$ for a crappy OS that wont work on my machine, and then they'll tell me to spend $$$ on a new machine...

Well I guess since this is professional photography they're used to paying through the nose for the best stuff... so I dont apply.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/
The biggest problem with GIMP is that it doesn't have the rich feature set of Photoshop, and it doesn't support CMYK (which is important for people in the print world (yes, print is still alive and kicking). If you are a serious photographer, there is no substitute for Photoshop.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/06/photoshop-to-read-nikon-encrypted-raw-data/
After hearing that Microsoft Longhorn / Vista and Nikon reached a deal integrating and promoting the proprietary format in the OS, that was my last straw. I'm NOT investing in $$$$ Nikon ever again.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AM
