I've been looking into this lately, mainly because I use Windows 98 and most of the commonly used RAW converters don't run on that platform (eg. Pentax Photo Lab 2, Photoshop CS, Elements 3, Raw Shooter Essentials). The ones I've found are as follows (some are better than others): Sharp Raw Breeze Browser Bibble UFRAW (free - plug-in for The Gimp and available for both Windows and Linux) Raw Drop (free - graphical front end for the command line converter DCRAW) Irfanview can be used to view PEF files The following URL is worth looking at (don't be mislead by the "Linux" in its title - it's relevent for Windows, Mac and Linux and lists a whole range of converters). http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/ Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney, Australia
