Corry, aiding and abetting.

Interesting:

"This is not a new problem. Phase One, Sony, Foveon, and Canon all apply
some form of encryption to their raw files. Dcraw decodes them all --
you can easily find decryption code by searching for the ^ operator.

Compression is not encryption. Phase One and Sony do encryption only.
Kodak does compression only. Canon, Nikon, and Foveon compress the image
data and encrypt some of the metadata."

so Kodak is the only higher ground for pro digital.

If true, why would Knoll be singling out Nikon if Sony and Canon do
basically the same thing?
