Dierk Haasis said:Can't say I 'always' wondered about what pixmantec's founders were really after, ... I mean, leaving C1 to do the exact same over again? Producing a good product with the best marketing campaign I've seen in years - for what, another runner-up?
John_Nevill said:But as a RSP user it does raise the issue of "open" sidecar files along with open RAW file formats, especially when you have 10,000s of them.
John_Nevill said:Perhaps the RAW software vendors should aim for standardisation and start using xml sidecars!
Don Lashier said:> my current bug list is well over 100 bugs
Then this should fit right in with Adobe products

John Hollenberg said:However, I must say that most of the bugs didn't keep RSP from being
a lean, mean converting machine. I will keep using it until I see something
better, or until I buy a camera which it doesn't support.

Rob.Martin said:Good on them, take the money and run..... why not??
John Hollenberg said:Yes, I was wondering if they paid extra for the bugs or if they
were thrown in for free It could be that they were experiencing
a shortage and just wanted to make sure they had a good supply
on hand.

NigelA said:After reading this thread I went to download the latest version of RSP (while it is still there). I haven't used it for a while, and it was interesting to be reminded just how good the user interface is - especially when compared to Bridge.
Hopefully there will be a net gain for customers ...

Tony Bonanno said:Having found the Raw Shooter software quite intriguing and using it often (RSP), and feeling good that there were "options" such as Pixmantec, I'm a little disturbed by this announcement. Maybe it will result in a better "Lightroom" and/or ACR, but I'm concerned that it is an example of "eliminating" some talented competition. I wonder if RawShooter was just too much of a threat to Adobe's "raw future" with the PC market. I would like to think it was a deal based on wanting to incorporate worthwhile technology, but you have to wonder. Hopefully, it will turn out to be a good thing, time will tell... I'll miss the refreshing "pricing" and philosophy of Pixmantec.
