Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

I don't want a raw converter for nothing.  I have CS and it contains 
the camera raw program.  My gripe, which may or may not be 
reasonable, is not maintaining some sort of backward compatability. I 
am not sure that it is fair to require the upgrade to get CS, which I 
am happy with, to work with a new camera.  Scam may have been a bit 
strong.  But, I think my point is reasonable.

Steve
