Jos, if you want to view all of the file types produced by your DS, you
probably need to get something like Photoshop, either the CS version or one
of the Lite versions which often come bundled with scanners, etc.
Alternatives abound, and no doubt many on the list will advise you in
various directions!
For myself, I have found RawShooter excellent for batch conversions, but if
I have time and want work with smaller numbers of images, I much prefer to
use Photoshop, with the CameraRaw converter tool, working on one image at a
time. Much more precise control over what the result will be, IMHO.

Subject: Cannot handle mixed files with Picasa or Rawshooter?
Dear List,
I downloaded Rawshooter Essentials 2005 and I was very pleased with the
way it allows me to do selection and correction to the files I load from
my DS to the computer.
But.......I only see the RAW files.
I am not a pure RAW-shooter but a MIXED-shooter, when shooting a bunch of
shots knowing on forehand that they will never have the quality or level
for a PBCF, I shoot them in JPG, still always highest quality, because you
never know if it might become the "once in a lifetime shot" by accident.
I used Picasa a while but that program only handles JPG and not the Pentax
RAW's
The Pentax browser handles mixed files. but aren't there better options?
Greetings Jos
