Adobe's comprehensive support of RAW profiles means that it's months if not years faster than the closest competitor.
Adobe’s swift support for camera RAW profiles has made it difficult to go look anywhere else for a reasonable alternative. For now, most pro-oriented roads still lead to ACR.
Over the past several years, Adobe has gone from “pretty fast” to outright “ludicrous speed” when it comes to supporting new RAW profiles. When the X100VI was announced in February, I expected to wait at least until launch to get the ability to edit my RAWs, but Adobe pushed anupdate that arrived while I was sitting in the Haneda Airport in Japan — mere days after the camera’s announcement and well ahead of public availability.
Conversely, Photomator and Affinity leave something to be desired. I was trying to work on a file Chris Niccolls sent me that he shot on his OM-1 Mark II last week and I was shocked to find that both Pixelmator and Photomator didn’t support it yet. After speaking to Pixelmator, I learned that it relies pretty heavily on Apple’s RAW support and while it does its best to expand on it as quickly as possible, that can take a while.
I know that as a camera reviewer, I’m going to have my hands on new hardware a lot sooner than a vast majority of photographers will, so I get not seeing a camera added immediately. But six months? A year? Eight years? There has to be a line of reasonable expectation and it’s sooner than that.
