BTW: ThumbsPlus will not only batch convert Pentax PEF files, it will also transfer requested meta-data from the PEF file to the TIFF (or JPEG). So all the TIFFs I just created *do* have my ISO setting embedded. Very cool. I also tried iView MediaPro, which is twice as expensive but very slick indeed. Much preferable as far as I'm concerned... except that it won't convert Pentax PEF files :( It will allow you to browse through your PEF images, but it won't do conversions. It does do conversions for Nikon and Canon RAW files (and Fuji, Kodak and Olympus). I'm hoping they add Pentax before too long - I just emailed them about this. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
