OpenRAW

It is critical that the objectives of this forum be achieved for the secure future preservation of the digitized image.
I think the camera manufacturers are being short sighted, did they not develop their industry by manufacturing cameras with the ability to utilize film which for the most part was developed and produced by third party manufacturers.
The further enhancement of the "RAW Development Software Industry" which will enable photographers to produce better images will only serve to promote increased sales of digital cameras.
I am fully in support of the objectives of this forum.
