If I use the same RAW shot (in camera as Daylight, should be Cloudy) and select Cloudy in Pentax RAW I get exactly what I want. In Adobe RAW I must select manual and use the sliders. Cloudy in Adobe would result in wrong colors. Maybe I am missing something in the settings of Adobe RAW. Do I need some calibration files for Adobe RAW and Pentax PEF? Jack
