ACR uses David Coffin's dcraw.c code, i think,
http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/
-- i don't know about Aperture, though.
Nikon probably wants to tie their camera customers to their
Capture software, so any other RAW decoder like Aperture or
ACR would be a competing product. Capture results in better
image quality, e.g. less noise in shadow areas and more
detail, than any other RAW decoder I've tested, so it will
be interesting to see output from Aperture.
the Nikon Capture software is clumsy to use and slow, I
guess many photographers are willing to give up this
slightly better image quality in favor of improved workflow.
the best scenario is that Apple bought the RAW decoding
algorithms from Nikon (and improved them).
are there a curves command in Aperture?
i haven't been able to find any information on that.
kind regards,
Vidar Gundersen
