Please. The politics are unnecessary.
I no more expect multiple Raw converters to provide identical color as I
expect Fuji, Agfa and Kodak to provide identical interoperable renderings
from E6 films. In fact, that we have a situation where the market can decide
what converters to select based on their unique ability to render scene
referred data is a plus. The last thing I need or want is to have Raw
Developer, Lightroom and C1 to provide the same generic color rendering. I
can shoot JPEG if that's the goal and be forced into the camera's rendering.
No one is being held hostage (expect perhaps those who feel they have to
sell a color management solution to every stinking Raw converter). End users
can pick whatever Raw processor they wish and if they really feel it HAS to
implement ICC profiles, they have plenty of choices.
Doesn't the ICC have enough on its plate?
