What are you using for processing? Lightroom or some other software? I started with the K10D using RAW/DNG capture mode and had a bunch of files in Lightroom v4.1 Beta before Lightroom v1.0 was released. I ran the out-of-camera DNG files through DNG Converter to compress them and save disk space. Once the catalog was updated in LR 1.0, I noticed that about 1/3 of them did a hefty color shift. Not all, which is somewhat puzzling. Since then I upgraded my workflow to capture in PEF format (to save space on the card in-camera) and convert on the fly to DNG format with Lightroom. I haven't seen anything different about the color balance if I import K10D RAW/PEF files directly, however. It should be simple enough to run a few exposures in pairs with RAW/ DNG and RAW/PEF on the K10D, compare them. Perhaps I'll do that today... :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
