I'm glad that you didn't pick up the clones, I must have done a good job, I 
used the pano software to very precisely register and align three distinct 
images in order to produce that one image :-)

I use a little command-line application called halfsize.exe which was written 
by John Francis that extracts the native JPG file that is embedded in every PEF 
file. I don't know if it works for anything other than the *ist D but I find it 
very handy. 

The way I use it is straight after I DL my PEF files to my PC I run the 
application then I have a very manageable set of jpg files which are proofs of 
sorts. They generally display poorer latitude than the PEF files but they give 
you a very good starting point to sort good from bad particularly in a big edit 
session like the 4500+ images from my last trip. And when I'm feeling lazy and 
feel that the use doesn't deserve too much attention to detail I use them for 
presentation (like this image and my last Q&D pano).
