I didn't get scared by Photoshop, I got scared by the crap SW that came with my Nikon D3. That SW was designed by guys that had never taken a photo. When I got my Panasonic GX7 I converted all the proprietary files to DNG till Adove got them reverse engineered. I found the alternative, Silkypix translated by non native speakers.
And yet I never considered the raw w files to be something less than an image.

I was hesitant to start using software from a camera manufacturer, but Canon's DPP is excellent. I assumed that Nikon users had more of a problem based on people's comments here.

Mike you've got it right. I don't know anything about Canon SW, but Nikon's is a joke. Why if a camera company chooses to outsource it's SW, it does it like Boeing did it with the 737 Max is beyond me.

That's a shame.

Excellent. There is no insurmountable reason why Canon raw files could not someday be printed by Canon printers, for example. As you say, what is the image file in that scenario? It could only be the raw file as that would be the only input file.
