@tek_dmn @patrick_h_lauke @rysiek sure its technically possible, but then you're just chasing them, and adobe makes it difficult to chase them on purpose. Take a look at the PSD file format if you need further proof.

We want to make good tools to edit your photos with, not spend time chasing Adobe formats.

@darktable @patrick_h_lauke @rysiek True, I'm just the special brand of insane that would try that just for fun on my own time though.

@tek_dmn @patrick_h_lauke @rysiek the hardest part will be that Lightroom uses a DCP formulated after the manufacturer's jpeg, and darktable doesn't even try at all to do or replicate that.

@darktable I wonder if that's something that could be regulated: if a file format is introduced and maintained by a vendor in a monopolistic position on a market, the file format needs to be open, standardized, and not patent-encumbered.

It's a pipe dream, of course, but perhaps possible long-term.

@rysiek @darktable @tek_dmn @patrick_h_lauke Even then they will make interoperability hard by making 'mistakes', adding custom extentions, make the format ambiguous or very complex, etc.

@rysiek @aerique @tek_dmn @patrick_h_lauke just re-editing your in darktable and making it look good would likely be much faster and easier ;)
