Adobe is the logical one to set the standard. Though I have to admit, I do not know enough about this issue.

Though, you have to wonder about Big Brother knocking down your door if this leads to a "monopolistic" advantage. Remember a company called Microsoft? (Yes I'm playing devils advocate - this may not give Adobe one iota of a business advantage. See above paragraph.)

Also, (still playing devils advocate) what if the rest of the industry simply ignores the new "standard"? Unlikely with Adobe; but, Olympus claims to have "standardized" digital with their new sensor in the E-1. And everyone else has ignored their "standard". :-O

I will definitely research this. Sounds interesting, and I'm a big believer in standardization.

1. it's an open standard.
2. The reason for the petition is so that camera manufacturers won't ignore it.

My apologies....I later realized my post would sound rude because it was so short. I was in a hurry to get home :) Which is where I'm at now. Hope you didn't take it personally.

I don't doubt there are additional concerns and I don't claim to be an expert either.

Okay, I have tog et back to other things now....busy preparing to move still!
