The PSD files that you really want to save with all of your layers, are propietary. Exactly what everyone was on Nikon's case about. I can live with it and I can live with Adobe having to pay a license fee to Nikon in order to incorporate Nikon's files, or Canon's files or anyone else's into their own trademark protected application. I just can't accept that we hack on one of them (the smallest) and act like the other big guys are strong proponents of open source. They are NOT.
