Nikon looks forward to future developments in this direction. Below is a copy of the announcement made by Adobe: Adobe and Nikon are both enthusiastic about the continued innovation of digital imaging technology. Both companies recognize that ongoing advancement in current RAW formats is bringing a new level of control, precision, and quality to the photography community and are excited about helping to foster that innovation. Adobe is committed to working with Nikon to ensure that our common customers have an excellent experience when using Nikon cameras with Adobe software, and the company is disappointed that there has been confusion about this in the market."Nikon was trying to lock out third party RAW file converters, including Adobe, the two companies have now decided to work together for the common good.
