I looked into RawTherapee a few years ago, when Adobe killed RSE. It
was painfully slow for most operations, but the final straw came when I
installed a new version with a bug opening PEF files, that caused the
program to crash. Pretty spectacularly, it would start to open the file
and the application would just be gone no error message no nothing.
Nothing in the error logs. I tried to go back to an earlier version but
that didn't work, the problem was in an improved dll that Raw Therapee
installed, but didn't roll back when the program was uninstalled.
Hunting that down and killing it, took most of an afternoon. I suppose
the problem has been fixed by now, but I'm actually finding that Pentax
Digital Photo Utility 4 is quite good, not as nice as I remember RSE
being, but hey it's free, sure it doesn't have all the fancy image
managment Light Room has but I've never found myself asking where the
hell did my photos go.

Thank you, Brian!
Unfortunately, I don't have Lightroom, so I'm sort of stuck using
Picasa to warm/cool the image tones and tinker around the edges from
there with GIMP and IrfanView (with Photoshop plugins).
It would be worth checking out Raw Therapee. It's developed into a
quite powerful raw processor and is free (although the author doesn't
object to slipping him a small donation)

UF Raw can also adjust white balance.

I thought about cropping in a little tighter on the bird shot, but
decided to err on the side of preserving as much as I could of the
original for showing to the list in order to get the right critique,
and I do agree with you. It would probably benefit from a little more
aggressive cropping. I'm going to fiddle with it a bit more to see
what I can come up with without losing too much resolution.
Thanks again!

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
