Ann,

I have version 12.2.0.387 Adobe DNG converter. It DOES work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

It's not the current converter from Adobe that requires Windows10. It's the older one that's no longer available on their site.

I just looked in my downloads folder and I still have the executable to install it. I can send it to you as an email attachment OFF LIST if you want me to.

It's a 467,715 KB file

If it won't install, I also have the unpacked files (that's where I got the v.12.2.0.387 from) and I can send those as an attachment as well.

OR I can also do a Dropbox if you would prefer ... although I haven't used that in a long time & would have to figure out how to do it again.

If you want to do it that way, I'll figure it out and send you the link OFF 
LIST.

Or maybe a more computer savvy list member will be able to hook you up.

Thanks for trying to help, Igor...

ALAS I have windows 7 PRO - the 64 bit WIndows 7 - so the last option doesn't work... (says so specifically on line)

The Adobe doesn't work either... as I don't have WIndoze 10..

oh well, it's not really critical - faststone does work.

I've always used Adobe DNG converter which works well (or at least used to).

One thing that you'd need to choose there is the target version of DNG.
I would first convert just one file and check it by opening in all the software tools that you are planning to use, to make sure it is adequate.

Yet another option that could be viable for you is to install a codec for viewing RAW files on Windows ... If you have Windows 10, - you can get a free Microsoft's package "Raw Image extension":

Presumably, it should read all Pentax DSLR's raw files, as it is using this library: https://www.libraw.org/supported-cameras

If you need that same functionality on a Win-7 computer, Ricoh/Pentax has a raw codec for Win-7:

I hope this helps.

Igor

I have a couple of hundred PEF's that are all in one folder on my harddrive.. would like to copy all of them to DNG's so I can view the thumbnails in windows explorer on my computer.. I can see them in Freestone.. but it is cumbersome for me with my work flow..

Can I do this in bulk?  Got a link to a free down load for me that will work?

thanks guys,
ann
