How daft is that? This description does not make me feel any better about Pentax' supplied software. Seems a waste of my time. I'll stick with Photoshop+Bridge+Camera Raw, or Lightroom, or Iridient's RAW Developer. I didn't like working with Silkypix very much based on their evaluation version, and haven't seen that anything Pentax supplied so far was worth wasting my disk space on. I've already calibrated ACR to my own preferences so what the heck... ? Godfrey > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
