IIRC, some publishers, including I believe Nat Geo, would take only
transparencies. Doesn't every publisher have the right to set the
standards for submission? What is wrong with that?
Sure they can, and there's not a problem with that. Reuters can demand
PNGs for all I care. However, to me at least, it's obvious that they're
demanding only in Cameras Jpegs because they can't trust reportorial
staff, (actually they're probably all freelancers), not to lie, and
can't trust their editorial staff to notice, and the decision was made
by someone who has no understanding of the technology. Reuters has
been burned by dishonest photographers, and, I'm sure, reporters, in the
recent past, and they're looking for a technological fix, which doesn't
exist.
