Robert-
That's exactly what makes me nuts. I would skip lots of upgrades except for the required raw codes in ACR...but after this last debacle, I found there are lots of raw converters that are much quicker to upgrade than adobe and some of them are actually significantly better... So why upgrade at all?
Interesting comment Tom.
Which ones have you found?.
It might be useful for us to pool our knowledge here as then it is easy for other to make choices that fit their needs.
I personally have the following available for use:
Bibble5/Aftershot Pro
PhaseOne Capture Pro 7
Lightroom 4.4
ACR 7.4 (dont need the latest 8.1 as it offers support for cameras that I dont have/use)
Acorn Editor
Apple Aperture
Ichikawa SilkyPix RAW Converter.
In addition if you are on Mac and Windows OSes then these have a rudimentary RAW converter in as well that is linked to some software.
I know that there are some others available that I have tested, but I dont personally use any more, such as:
Corel PaintShop Pro x12
AccuRAW
DCRAW
