You're right, Patrick, I downloaded the latest Picasa, it can handle the
mixed files.
I used it on the 150 mixed files I had in my camera
I found it quick and easy to do picture selection.
I did cropping and shadow and high light correction, good enough to have
a slide show for demo to friends and family purposes.
It shows the most important camera data and histogram.
In 30 minutes I had deleted about 120 files.
The remaining 30 have to go through another round, later, in another mood.
Finally I will keep maybe 10 pictures in the folder "2005_01_20 trip to
Taiwan".
The zoom and light control functions have all possibilities to judge if
the picture is worth for further processing in Photoshop, this I will
normally only do with pictures that have (technically) PBCF level.
All changes in Picasa don't effect the original file. If I want the
changes to be permanent, I have to export the file.
I will use Picasa for I few month, when still satisfied, I will stay
with it, if not, I will use it as a reference to test the other suggestions.
Thanks all for the suggestions and remarks!

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
