Re: RAW Conversion comparison

[Joseph Tainter]

In the larger image, the Pentax conversion is the one on the left? This 
image, to my eye (and on my monitor), has a cleaner white in the jacket, 
much better skin tone (the PS skin tone is sickly yellowish), more 
saturated blue, and more saturated red lips. It may be just a little 
softer, but I could correct that. The Pentax conversion has overall a 
warmer and more pleasing tone.

On the jacket, both images show a fringe, with the image converted by 
Pentax showing just a bit more pronounced fringe.

Overall I prefer the Pentax conversion.

When I first looked at this I thought "Oh, ****, I will have to get 
Windows XP and PS CS." Looking at the images more closely, perhaps I 
don't need to after all.
