Nikon and Adobe
MELVILLE, NY (September 2, 2005) - Nikon Inc. notes the recent
announcement made by Adobe(R) with regard to the mutual interest of both
companies for the advancement of digital photography and the RAW file format.
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. Adobe wants to ensure that our common customers get the
very best quality from their photos when using our products together.
Nikon has endeavored to develop the raw image concept for digital
photographers through its Nikon Electronic Format (NEF) file, supporting
software and compatible system components. Nikon envisions its role as an
innovator, and values its participation within the industry's organizations,
so that the future for RAW images will expand in importance and acceptance
among the market's photographers.
Nikon believes that the NEF file has provided important image quality
through Nikon's pioneering developments. For the future, Nikon intends to
cooperate with Adobe and other industry members in order to pursue its
objective of providing images with better quality, convenience and usefulness
to end users.
