I really wish all the vendors would cut the shit and settle on a
standardised way of handling raw. As much as I hate Microsoft the way
Adobe, DxO, Canon et al lock themselves up is like they're preserving
their daughter's virginity, or something.

Hence DNG.

My bitch in this context is all the raw data is wrapped up and there's a
lack of vendor effort to document their formats and work towards a common
API. Why should people have to use Camera Raw, or for "legacy" stuff go
through the PITA hurdle of raw convertor?

Then there's lens distortion and chroma data.

I looked into this a few weeks back when I was looking into the feasibility
of developing a Lightroom style raw processor. It's a nightmare and the
duplication of effort is insane. The IHV's are bad enough but where's Adobe's excuse for locking up Camera Raw?
