Re: RAW Conversion comparison

Interesting. I do see the edge difference.  I also see a general 
difference in the color balance.  The pentax version looks more 
saturated to me, maybe a little warmer also.

I have been reading many people sceptical about the differences in the
quality produced by the Pentax RAW convertor and the other tools around.
I have done a comparison between PhotoLab & Photoshop CS which, to my
eye at least, shows a stark view of the differences.

Look at the edge between the sleeve & background.  The Pentax conversion
if pretty horrible here, with a big black line around the edge.  CS also
has slightly better sharpness and detail.
IF you want a tiff of the zoom view then here ya go...

Would be interested in comparison of other tools - if anyone can do one
for me (john?) I can send them the PEF to work on.
