Attached Link: survey

The OpenRAW initiative launched a survey today to collect "experiences, requirements, preferences, and concerns of digital photographers and other interested parties regarding RAW imaging technology." The results of this survey will be published into the public domain. Take the survey and let your voice be heard!

Unsure where the 'concern' lies!...imo, RAW has far more advantages over jpg...I shoot in both modes same time, purely so I can browse the jpgs quicker. Neat survey though;)

you beat me to it Kort, I was just about to post the link myself - the purpose of the survey is not to re-hash the eternal RAW vs Jpeg argument (RAW wins of course) but is concerned with the idea of 'open raw' - that is that there should be one single raw format shared by all and open to all software developers as oposed to 'closed' formats (eg: Nikon) where camera manufacturers not only use a their own formats but also try to prevent others from producing conversion software.

...Like Charles says. Hopefully it will help direct future RAW development towards the needs of the photographers.

Thanks Kort yeah RAW is the winner needless to say.. I think the DNG format that Adobe has offered up was supposed to get around that problem it can be a pain at times and IMHO CS2 is less good than CS1 for browsing images I dont care much for the auto selections myself and use other tools for my workflow..

Guess it is good I am still using CS1 then. You say to stick with it? What about that smart sharpen?
