Yes, UF Raw will work but I think you also need to install "The GIMP" (even if you never use it) because UF Raw is basically a plug-in for The GIMP, although you can also run it in stand alone mode.
Another possibility is Raw Drop. This also uses the dcraw engine and is about as simple as Raw conversion gets. You just drag the pef or dng across to RAW Drop's interface and it converts it to tiff. You don't get much opportunity to vary conversion parameters though, so you have to do all image processing in Photoshop - but you seem to be already doing that with the Irfanview conversion. http://www.wizards.de/rawdrop/ Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia Quoting Peter Lacus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Doug, > > > So, what I need to know, if you don't mind, is if there is a > converter > > that I can use that will not strip this info out, or can I just > use > > IrfanView to re-convert the RAW images into JPGs straightaway, > which > > will preserve the info, but leave me working to get top quality > from JPG > > files, something I'd rather not do? > > you can try UFRAW, > > http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/ > > Basically it's a GUI interface for DCRAW command line software on > which > a whole lot of the other RAW converters are based, including ACR, > Bibble, IrfanView, etc... > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Click to compare & save $100's on medical insurance, free quote http://tags.bluebottle.com/fc/CAaCMPJkon1zxd0L60XlzzPziRd89QFq/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
