Interesting, but upgrades these days do not have the gigantic leaps of technology that occurred in the nineties.
I suppose they want a hundred pounds plus to upgrade?
Bloatware, it's called. Trouble is they have to do it otherwise their businesses will fail as once everyone has bought the product, their revenue streams dry up.
I use CS2 and when I upgraded my Canon from the 20D to 40D it will not support the new Canon Raw files.
Very annoyed that they do not provide format upgrades but no way am I going to upgrade to 4 or 5 at those prices!!
I did try some other conversion software (cannot remember what offhand?) but the results were poor and the picture quality deteriorated.
At the moment taking both RAW and JPEG and storing them.

PS - just downloaded it and it works a treat - thanks again Brian
Another thing you will notice about the DNG files that the converter gives you is that the XMP data is stored with the image file and not as a separate sidecar file - means you can't lose your changes by accidentally deleting the sidecar file.
