Michael Reichmann over at Luminous Landscape has an article about the new Digital Negative format that Adobe unveiled at Photokina earlier today.

“Not such a silly question if you think about it. Almost every raw file format from every camera maker is proprietary, and some are even intentionally encrypted. Many have been reverse engineered, but some haven’t, and in many cases there are still hidden features which no one outside of the manufacturer understands. Without software that can read your raw image files, do you really own them in a meaningful way? How comfortable are you with this?”
