Ah, more tidbits of...well...misinformation.  Does anyone have ANY idea what
so ever why Adobe would need to "recognize the Foveon system"?  Why wouldn't
it just work seamlessly already?  It's just data in some image format...
There have been different sensor types out for 10+ years, both interline,
one shot and scanning...and there hasn't been ANY need to handle the data
any differently for these in the past 10 years, now, why, all of a sudden,
does someone make some claim that there is a "problem" that never existed
before?  And, IMO, doesn't exist today.
