Thanks for the info. > Another possibility you might consider is an image cataloguing program linked to a photo editor. This is probably less efficient than Lightroom, Bibble etc where both features are included in the one program, but it is far less expensive. I use a cataloguing program called Studioline Photo Classic (there is a freeware version called Studioline Photo Basic). It reads PEF and DNG, includes a good range of photo editing tools and has rudimentary RAW conversion, but it also allows the user to link to an external Photo Editor/RAW converter. When I want to work on a DNG file, I just open it in ACR/Photoshop directly from Studioline - but you could equally use any other raw converter such as the Pentax Digital Camera Utility, Raw Therapee (freeware) or GIMP with the UFRaw plug-in. http://www.studioline.biz/EN/ Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
