That looks like just the thing... I really don't have all that many
files to convert but I know some are hiding in PEF only form on my hard
drive..
I haven't shot with the ist_D in years _ sold it and the software for
that was on a long dead hard drive .. I've been always shooting making
raw and jpgs
since I got the K-5 and most of the canon shots when I had the rebel too..

Aha! If all you need are viewable JPGs you can use *Instant JPG from
Raw*. All it does is extract the embedded JPG from the raw file. It
will batch process - select the raw files you want the JPGs from,
then right click to open the context menu, that's where you'll find
the menu item for Instant JPG. See the link below - the app is freeware.

Paul, John and Igor...
My lightbulb went on at 3 am .... I don't want a converter to DNG...
I need something to bulk copy my PEFS to JPG"S leaving the PEFS
alone... Ugh. I just need to see what is on the PEFs when I'm
browsing my image folders.. I have a feeling I don't need anything
to big or fancy to do that.. I can't see the raw files DNGS (or
others) in WIndows Explorer either.
Now that that is cleared up - I can go back to bed . But perhaps the
converter will be of interest to others on list ..
You all really take good care of me..

Ann -
I found I still have a copy of DNG Convertor v9.5.1. It's from 2016
so should still work with Win 7. I sent you a separate email with a
link to download it from Dropbox. It's a big file (251 mB) so it
will take a while to download. Let me know if that works for you.

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":
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/raw-image-extension/9nctdw2w1bh8?=&activetab=pivot:overviewtab
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:
http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/support/digital/rawcodec_win.html
I hope this helps.

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
