Weather pictures and Jpegs

Hi folks,

so do you still like the new year At least we got snow during the last days, so outside it is white and not the usual grey... But both situations allow nice shots, so how do you like mine?

Of course there are some other news. I've implemented Jpeg and Tiff support, with 16 bit, fully color managed and of course with exif support. So it will be possible to use one program for all photos and to work on 8 bit files with 16 bit precision (to loose as little as possible). For me there are more reasons why a RAW converter should support Jpeg and Tiff.

First it allows retouching already processed photos and many people like to (or even have to) shoot Jpeg anyway. Furthermore colors are a big issue with non supplied RAW converters since the algorithms of the camera producers are kept secret. So many people like to process their RAWs first in the supplied tool (for the best color rendering), but these are usually not very feature rich... Last thing, if you use film cameras and scan your images afterwards, you also won't have RAWs... From another perspective, this will hopefully help to enlarge the user group (once it is released) and this will help the project.

So stay tuned for the upcoming developments,

greets mike
