There's also a free limited version with no time restriction, but it's a bit
too limited - only allows saving in jpg mode. The free version of the earlier
Version 2 of Silkypix allowed saving in tif, which is why I'm using it for the
time being.

BTW I think most RAW converter do not have a final version supporting

I too prefer to work the files according to taste rather than any
predetermined calibrations. Sometimes I want a warm look, sometimes I
want a cold look. But I always want to determine what the shot will
look like when converted. The default calibrations are a good enough

Pentax Photo Lab uses the Silkypix engine but the two programs are
quite independent, see:
