[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 658291, member: 10742"] couple of thoughts... 1. Topaz Systems Inc. is a closely, privately held corporation since 1999 That generally translates into a single down-stream management process... "I own it, and we'll do it my way, and I don't care what or how you think it should be done." 2. Topaz does $50M a year... and their Adobe/photo software is NOT the company's main product or focus... Topaz has been involved in electronic signature acquisition/storage/recognition tools that get integrated with other folk's software, as well as an electronic signature hardware solution... Their relationship with Adobe's "pluggin" methodologies was a natural integration exercise, as well as their signature recognition and graphics folks creating software as a source of additional revenue... IOW, their relationship with photographers as a RAW editor engine and software company may indeed be number 20 on the list of Top 10 Corporate priorities for Topaz...:unconscious: [/QUOTE]
