What is your flow like? When I first started, I used the *istD with jpg
best, so I had to jack up the sharpen, saturation, and contrast settings
to avoid a PS fixup afterwards. I was not happy with the results, so I
switched to RAW. But the Pentax convertor was a pain, and the only way
to get 16 files was in TIFF, another pain. Just recently I purchased an
upgrade to my PS, the new PhotoShop-CS (creative suite or version 8).
This is a much better tool, and I have noticed that not only is the
final result sharper, but the colors are truer also. But the best part
is the fact that it can import Pentax RAW directly, without going
through the crappy Pentax convertor.

Undoubtably. Some time ago I took some pictures with the *ist D and the
F717, and I was really disappointed by the softness of the *ist D compared
to the sharpness of the F717 :-)
However, some of you will recall for sure how much (and how alone) I
complained for the *ist D softness here in PDML some months ago. Then I got
tired of repeating myself again and again (and bothering you so much on that
subject). Nevertheless, the *ist D keeps taking soft pictures.
So, why the hell did I buy an *ist D at the end? I must be crazy, or
masochist. Yes, enough a plausible explanation.

This is not really as sharp as the shots made with my SONY DSC F717,
