Reading comments by people on various groups, you get the idea that
none of the current raw developers is as good as it could be. The
only ones I've seen that could be considered poor generally either
erase detail, or they produce patterns in noise areas that shouldn't
be there. I would have assumed that the proprietary developers from
each company "should" do the best jobs.

It's Christmas, Rich. Give yourself the day off from your
eternal whining.

Merry Christmas anyway, for what its worth to someone as
terminally pessimistic as you appear to be.

No kidding. Let me see, how many ABSOLUTELY PERFECT products with NO
NEED FOR ANY IMPROVEMENTS exist in the universe?

Don't hold your breath with ACR, what I call "red" seems to
be "orange" in ACR's default calibration... maybe orange is
Thomas Knoll's favourite colour.

Personally I'm happy with the default output of Silkypix for
Pentax, Olympus and (noisy!) Panasonic files, a little less
so with my old Minolta files where ACR does better. On
balance I like the image quality and especially the colour
that Silktpix delivers - once you get past the first hurdle
of its erm... idiosyncratic (!) user interface.

I wouldn't do that. He constantly provides ironic humor and he very
occasionally posts some interesting info.

Boy, some people get cranky when it's time to change their diaper.
