Henning,

What does it mean that Canon does not support the D30 anymore? You mean 
that the bundled software that came with my 20D would not read a D30 
file? If that's the case, no problem, since I haven't even installed the 
Canon software... As long as PS CS can open it, I don't care.

But I do agree that it would be far better if everyone used an open 
format. In the meantime, I guess the safest thing to do is to save 
things as TIFFs.
