DMCA Prevents Photoshop Support of Nikon Camera

Will writes "PhotoshopNews.com reports that the risk of getting sued under the DMCA prevents Adobe from fully supporting the raw file format of Nikon's top professional camera Nikon D2X. The file format contains encrypted white balance information that is necessary to render the image correctly and while the encryption can and has been broken, Adobe fears getting sued under the DMCA if they decrypt the data."

Re:License

The photoshop pie is rather large, I think it's quite fair for a company with a legitimately proprietary technology (their own RAW format) to want a licensing fee for the rights to include that technology inside photoshop.
