Yeah... You don't get much for 25 million eh?
I suppose Adobe gave me a copy of Lightroom because I'm such a lovable
bloke, then?
They gave it to me because I bought and paid for RawShooter just weeks
before Adobe bought the program and this... Is the evolution of it.

But Hey... Don't let fact stand in the way of a good story Barry.

The facts are as I stated. You can read here if you like:

You may want to listen to some of the podcasts (as I have) and learn
more about the relationship between Lightroom and ACR:

Adobe gave free copies of Lightroom to people who had paid for
Rawshooter because, by buying the assets of Pixmantec, they had
terminated the further development of a product that people had paid
for expecting a future. That is NOT evidence that any Rawshooter code
was included in Lightroom.

Perhaps some Pixmantec code has been incorporated into ACR and
Lightroom - but clearly after Public Beta 3.0, and I believe not for
the next Beta either. (I haven't heard of any such code, and I try to
keep in touch on Adobe forums, etc). Because Adobe are synchronising
ACR and Lightroom, partially with ACR 3.7, and more completely with
ACR 4.x, and these are clearly forward developments of ACRs that have
been available for years, it is clear that the core raw conversion
code of Lightroom was derived from ACR originally, and its currently
more evolved state is becoming shared with ACR 4.x.
