Adobe's work on extended ranges started when cameras started being able
to go raw.
You might also notice (if you're a conspiration theorist) how PS'
features set often seems to line up with Nikon, that accidentally also
used to have some adobe patents quoted in their softwares.
I'm afraid no bell was rung, not by anybody from "our field", or if it
was it wasn't very loud :)

I actually think they do. But it´s true, even with the significant
changes
that company has made in it´s marketing and pricing politics, the film,
broadcast and enthusiast or better indie users aren´t a huge percentage.
But something must have rung a bell, otherwise they wouldn´t try so hard.
From how I read it, they instead have a large amount of technically
not too affine users, people that´ll usually not realize there could be
a mismatch in the "look" of their Dual3GHz Mac and it´s 1GB of RAM.
That´s a shame, as every half-decent photographer and pretty surely
also most if not all print/brochure designers will tell you how they hate
to run out of RAM. In terms of nondestructively working with bitdepths,
it´s actually the photographers that do lead (in filesizes) with 48bit
*.raw.
But it´s also true, I don´t know for certain. I´ve no internals to share.
I´m just judging the invention of Adobe Bridge and the implementation
of crosslinks between apps (which is a buzzword, but don´t blame the
idea).
Given that Adobe Aftereffects 7 _has expanded 32bit functionality and
it is a commonly accepted workflow to first do templates or testcomps
in Photoshop, then import into Premiere or AE to replace those layers
with footage, I just had thought they´d had identified RAM as a
bottleneck...

Ah, yes, wait, it´s true. You can´t. 32bit layers aren´t supported in
CS2. "

Do you -honestly- think adobe cares the least bit about the film
market needs? They don't even have one of the 2000movies made every
year that used photoshop somewhere in their brochures. Their promo
material happens to be mostly photographers and print work material,
guess why to win a teddy bear.

On a related note, here´s a link to the blog of Scott Byer
from Adobe, gving some info why CS3 won´t be 64bit...
http://blogs.adobe.com/scottbyer/
Omg. Even if he concludes with the following:
"At some point, some of these things will change - certainly
"the number of systems capable of running a 64-bit version
"of Photoshop will - and at some point it will make sense to
"do a 64-bit version. That wasn't this time around.
"But like I said, it's a when, not an if."
Did they ever try to do a 4K comp in 32bit with layers for a test?
Ah, yes, wait, it´s true. You can´t. 32bit layers aren´t supported
in CS2.
It´s probably nobody needs that one, too...
wtf...

On linux, there is Cinepaint, Silouette Fx, something called "Pixel
Image Editor" (http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12),
Photogenics HDR, and apparently a lot of users who think there are
no floating-point paint software for Linux :D
