Am I missing something here? Have you found a good RAW converter, also
allowing color balance (unlike the Genzo)? Joe (and other folks doing the
same) can you explain your thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Dario, I recall that others have posted problems with the Pentax RAW converter. 
Perhaps my eyesight is poor. I do not have problems with it. In fact, I like very much 
being able quickly to adjust an images' color temperature by experimenting with the 
white balance settings.

Beyond that, my reasoning for not using jpeg is: Why ever would I buy such an 
expensive camera, good lenses, a computer and printer, invest the time and effort to 
become a better photographer, then shoot at anything less than the highest resolution? 
It feels like using cheap film. If not RAW, I would be shooting TIFF, which produces 
even larger files.

Also, Alejandro suggested a portable PC with various appurtenances. I've already 
decided against that. I am already too burdened with stuff when I travel. My office 
provides me with laptops. Over the past six years I have had two of them. I have taken 
them on two trips out of several dozen.

Eventually I will probably get an image tank of some kind.

Joe
