WR Last I heard, Phase One wouldn't run on AMD computers. WR Something to be aware of if you are running a non Intel chipset. Capture1 from PhaseOne always worked fine on AMDs. It was another one, RSE from Pixmantec, that when released wouldn't work on AMDs (IMO they just botched up alpha testing...) Good light! fra
Re: Options for editing viewing PEF files?
Quoting Glen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On the Windows platform, what are the software options for converting or editing Pentax PEF files? Is there anything besides the Pentax software bundled with the *istDS camera, and the Camera RAW plugin for Photoshop? Have the details of the PEF format been published? Does anyone know where to get the details of the format? 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

One of the guys over at the studio I share was big on some piece of softwate, I had thought it was Capture1, but when I checked into it, the website documentation specified that it woldn't work on AMDs.

Re: Options for editing viewing PEF files?
Oh yes: for viewing, sorting, cataloging, there's iView MediaPro. The others mentioned below are RAW conversion processing software.

Yes, there are some applications that enable this: Bibble - probably the fastest one - www.biiblelabs.com Capture One - well featyred, but quite slow and expensive - www.phaseone.com Raw Shooter Essentials - well featured and free - www.pixmantec.com And I'm sure there are a few more, less known. -- Best regards Sylwek

Re: Options for editing viewing PEF files?
i can't stand it. not enough useful adjustments and no plugin capability. the adjustments that exist don't work very well compared to the alternatives i have in Photoshop CS. it may be good enough for getting very good prints, but it's not good enough for getting excellent prints. if you're not printing, none of this might matter.
