Nice and informative site, by the way. 
I just wanted to make sure I didn?t get anything wrong.
Thanks!
Think I'll go for that lens. My only problem is that I have more beauties
(lenses) on hand than I can afford. 
I'll have to eat porridge for a month, perhaps even stop smoking! That?s
healthy, I've been told.

Pentax SMC-FA 24mm f/2.0 AL(IF). I have found a specimen of this sparrow for
sale. It is prized about 450$. Does this sound like a fair prize? 
Comments please...

RAW files from DS in Elements 3

2005-06-04 Thread Tim sleby
First. Just bought myself a second hand Ds. The kit lens is in the bin
(relax, not literally speaking). I've bought myself a Tamron 28-75/2,8. 
I'm convinced this is the perfect toy for me. I love her, and I believe she
loves me back. If it ain't love, then what a heck, then it is perfect sex,
and that’s really something. She is pretty. She responds to every move I
make. And when I touch her button, she comes instantly, over and over again.


Ok, now I have got it out of my system, I'll stop talking dirty,
embarrassing some of you. The thing is that I like the camera. I like the
way she is built, and I like her speed. 

But there is one downer. I'm not able to load the RAW files in Elements 3. I
have been to the Adobe site. There I realize, Elements does not support Ds,
just the D. (By the way, the D is twice as expensive here in Norway, as the
Ds, don't ask me why). 
So now I do wonder. Is there any way around this problem? 
I have just bought Elements too. So I am a total novice. In fact I have
never done something serious in any image processor before. Of course, I can
use the Pentax Photlab to convert the pictures, and then move on working in
Elements. But then I must learn two new programs, not one, and that takes
time. And this time I want to spend with my new lover (oops, there I go
again, talking dirty). And I would like to be able to do all, my image
processing in one program.

Cotty. To this simple (but flaming) Norwegian this just looks like a bad

No explicit language message.

This converter doesn't seem to support the Ds. 
:-( 
A real downer. Any other tips? Or do I just have to wait for an update
supporting my new flame? (my *ist Ds)

 I'm not able to load the RAW files in Elements 3.

You may convert your RAW files to .dng format; PSE should then open 
dng.
If you do not have the DNG converter already, it should be found 
somewhere around http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/main.html - it's a 
free download from Adobe.

Still flaming! As you already know, you are absolutely right. The converter
is doing the job, and I'm happy, very happy. Thanks a lot, you made my day!

Tim,
I am 100% sure it does support the DS. Give it a try :)
Adobe's website indeed does not mention the DS as supported camera,
but I have a dng file, converted from my very DS .pef, open right now
in Photoshop.

Keep it flamin' :)
