CS2 ships with the Camera Raw plugin v3.0. The Pentax *ist D camera
profile might not have been updated since ACR 2.4, however. They
don't necessarily update all camera profiles with every revision.
Between ACR 2.4 and ACR 3.2 is a world of difference!

Thanks Godfrey,
I've got Fraser's book & you guys were spot on in reccommending it.
My just purchased CS2 has ACR 2.4.
Is there a significant difference, with ACR 3.2 as far as the *istD
is concerned.

Do you use the default settings in PS or what?
I haven't touched the camera calibration, but I set my defaults
for Camera Raw to open up without the Auto feature turned on. If
you find you are very frequently making the same correction, it's
sensible to adapt the defaults to do that for you as you can
always change it anyway.
BTW, if you haven't already read Bruce Fraser's "Real World
Camera Raw with Photoshop CS2", do so. It is the best book on RAW
processing available, and treats the subject of Camera Raw,
Photoshop CS2 and Bridge integration better than anything I've
read from Adobe.
Also, be sure you download and update to Camera Raw + DNG
Converter v3.2. It's available from the Adobe website. Lots of
detail improvements over v3 that shipped with CS2.
