If I remember correctly from the StarkistD's specs the raw file format can be saved in the 12 bit mode. I'm familiar with 8 and 16, but not 12. I know 8 gives you 24ppg and 16 gives you 48ppg with some functions in photoshop disabled. Anyone that can enlighten me as to what you wind up with for specs on this format after processing? 36ppg? Does photoshop handle this well? or are you stuck using some proprietary software that pentax provides to process/convert?
