In this argument though when we read "Jpeg" we are assuming I think correctly that its "jpegs right out of the camera". But the fact that ACR* opens up a jpeg just like it would a NEF or DNG Raw somehow gets lost in the shuffle. Perhaps its because most who shoot jpegs don't do this. They go right out of the camera with their jpegs; No ACR. Its the point of shooting a jpeg. Hard disk space is cheap and SD or Compact flash cards are dirt cheap. But I'd think a few may. They must. ACR* Adobe camera raw filter in Lightroom or Bridge or Photoshop. On 6/5/13 7:36 PM, "Herbert Kanner" <kanner at acm.org> wrote: > There is an aspect of this debate which has not been addressed.
