Disappointed at Nikon

Not about the hardware, I am loving my D100, but this sucks rocks.

Such idiotic games with encrypted file formats are not something we need in this century. It’s my own business what software I use to open my RAW photos, why should Nikon decide for me? This sucks for all the free software projects that have support for NEF-format. I rather wish Nikon would concentrate on making the best cameras instead of playing power games with Adobe.

    The mentality that you must control your product even after it has left your hands is just something that I can’t understand. So what if the user uses another application to convert their RAW-photos? Adapt to the situation, don’t try to force the user to change it.

    Very interesting site. Corporate America has destroyed the “news”.
    It is almost impossible to find out any dependable information without going to many sources. I shall include yours in my growing list.

    Dear Tuomas: I was just reading about your work on GIMP, while trying to wean myself off PhotoShop. I was wondering if you’ve written about how to insert cutline info into a GIMP file, and if you could point me to any tutorial that would cover it. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sincerely,
    Joel
