Re: IMATEST comparison of Pentax Photo Laboratory and Adobe Photoshop CS RAW converter

[Herb Chong]

i've posted the PEF files into the results directory for other people to 
convert using programs that i don't have. if anyone does this, use your 
"normal" settings for your camera and tweak only exposure compensation so 
that the histogram isn't too cut off for the white patch. convert to TIFF16t 
at 1:1 so that the images are about 34M each and tell me where to get them 
so that i can run the IMATEST program against them. high quality JPEGs at 
2-4MB per image might be OK too.

Herb, thanks for doing that test of yours.  I tried Photoshop CS RAW 
yesterday for the first time on an older raw file of mine and noticed a 
big difference, especially in noise levels.  I think I may end up using CS 
RAW more than Pentax's converter.  It sure seems a lot better, so far.
