Tiff files are not RAW. They're camera processed files saved in Tiff
format. RAW files are not processed, they're RAW data.
The camera's sharpening works with tiff. It does not affect the RAW
data.
RAW files should have a PEF suffix. If you didn't find any, you
probably didn't shoot any. Try again. To actually view a RAW file,
you'll have to use a converter. The Pentax software is not very good.
Most use PS Elements (3 or 4 only) or PSCS (1 or 2). There are some
other converters that are okay as well, but PhotoShop is very good. For
PSCS or Elements, you should download the latest appropriate version of
the RAW converter from the Adobe website.

I need more help and the quickest way to get it is to ask PDML.
1. Is the TIFF file output from the *ist D a real RAW file -- but with
TIFF format?
2. Does the 'in camera' sharpening work with TIFF? I suppose it does
not with RAW?
3. This one is odd. I took a few pictures using TIFF, and others using
RAW, on the same card. When I put the card in the reader and got the
files into the PC there were no RAW files to be found -- all were
*.tif.
