Well said. Also true of rips for inkjets.
Form what I read Canon is working with Microsoft for system level
exploitation of raw Canon files within WCS. Will this be the PC side's
answer?
Hope that Apple can extract the quality that DPP2 does within the very slick
Aperture interface. For what I do Aperture is a must have app for studio
shooting to act as a digital light table for selections on the spot. It has
nothing to do with Photoshop as it's not an image editor but a central image
viewer, catalogue, and presentation utility that happens to do many other
functions available or not in individual applications scattered here and
there.
It's in the heat of the moment that Aperture is going to keep the teams
happy with you, not the ultimate quality available from whichever raw
processor. I can't believe the pain of shooting tethered with the Canon and
all it's sparse applications while the clients lose their patience with the
slow redraws and multiple screens open syncing etc.
