Hi Jack,
I don't like the Pentax software. I find it very difficult to get a
reproducable result, and the interface seem clumsy. If Adobe is your
other choice, you should go for it.
However, there are other raw converters out there, if you're
interested. "CaptureOne" from PhaseOne is one alternative. Bibble is
another. There is an OpenSource project as well, but I can't remember
the name...

Subject: Which RAW converter?
I can't decide which RAW converter is the best. I have tried the
latest Adobe beta and Pentax.
Adobe has more options like noise and color fringing reduction. The
white balance settings drive me nuts. Only "As Shot" or Manual are
usable. Adobe RAW would be nice since it allows me to convert PEF to
DNG and save disc space.
The Pentax RAW converter displays the best white balance settings.
The
white balance settings are identical (I think) to the camera
settings.
The bad thing about the Pentax converter is remaining color noise
and
ugly artefact's on color borders/edges.
Jack
