As stated by many highly experienced and regarded photographers an open RAW digital image format is in the best interests of the photographic community. The image, once taken, IS the property of the individual photographer, not the camera manufacturer. An open format will protect my right to always have access to my images to process/enhance in ways that I deem appropriate.
I, therefore, fully support the efforts of this group to develop and implement an open standard (RAW) digital format.
