Set your K10D to output RAW/DNG files for the most options. - Photoshop Elements will work with them using any version of the Camera Raw plug-in past version 2.4. The current version of Camera Raw is v3.6. Street price around $80.
- Adobe Lightroom v4.1 beta works with them beautifully ... I'm using it more and more, and the results are terrific. Currently free while in beta, I estimate a price around $200 when it is released. - LightZone works well ... unusual but easy to learn/use interface, some very interesting tools and capabilities. Not too expensive. - RAW Developer (Mac OS X only) does an excellent job and can work with both the DNG and PEF files. - Bibble has a version that works with K10D RAW files now, not sure whether DNG only or DNG and PEF. - Pentax Photo Browser/Lab v3.1 can do a decent job, but usability is almost as bad as Silkypix (at least on Mac OS X). - Silkypix also works with both PEF and DNG files. A number of people prefer its rendering, I find that using it is brain numbingly frustrating. My production system is based on Photoshop CS2 + Bridge + Camera Raw v3.6 at present. I'm experimenting with the Photoshop CS3 beta suite as well as Lightroom 4.1 beta ... the more I use it, the more I like Lightroom, but Photoshop CS2/3 does some things that I haven't yet found a good way to automate with Lightroom.
