At a file level, really cool. I guess it stores the information separately, as it builds a database for thumbnails. After I did that in CS, the Pentax software doesn't recognise the changes made. If you use the browser in CS, it will show the rotation of the pef files that you rotated when you converted the image, and colour and exposure corrections. If you convert the pef file again it starts with your last settings for the specific image. I rotated two images, adjusted the colour temperature of several of them, and all of that information is shown in the browser of CS.
