If you can't find anything elsse use infanview, it has a built in thumbnail viewer. It's a free download, works fine. Previews are from the imbedded jpeg in the PEF file as far as I can tell. You can set up to three external editors to open a file with. The interface can be a little clunky but hey it's free.

I've been dealing with this for a while but I can't believe there isn't a way to fix it.

When I open raw PEF files in Elements the exposures hardly have to be adjusted - if at all.

However, I can't preview the PEF's in the open window in Elements SOOOO

I use ACDSEE for Pentax 3.0 - when I do that I can see the thumbnails and browse and slide show and all that BUT the images are always too dark - anywhere from 3 to 5 stops under in camera terms.

I don't want to tamper with the raw files in ACDSEE - I've fished around for a viewing option of brightening but I cant find it..

I'm on windoze xp (thought that shouldnt matter) does anyone know how to adjust ACDSEE without actually editing the images?

Thanks guys,

ann
