I had to go and look up "otiose" in my trusty Shorter Oxford (1983) 
(!) and there's nothing unctious about you I'll warrant Joel; and  
there's nothing otiose about a "u" that takes the place of a double  
consonant ... ;-)

The Camera RAW functions in Lightroom are pretty close to what PS  
provides.  I suppose that the difference comes from the fact that  
Lightroom is trying to be a complete workflow for most of your  
digital (or digitized) images.  In addition, the work you carry out  
on your images does not change your original file; you can fiddle  
around with your image but Reset at any stage.  You can also export  
an image to PS.  The interface in each mode (see the screen grab I've  
sent you) is clean and useful.  There are some bits missing, a Crop  
function for instance, but not much in my view.

Why not use Adobe DNG Converter to convert your .ORF files?  Will  
Explorer show them?
