Not having a K-3 I could be wrong in this but I don't think K-3 DNGs can

larger, though.


Sorry, Brian, you are wrong. Pentax DNG files can be opened by any version of Photoshop that has a raw converter. For fun, I fired up my 11 year old laptop a while back to test this out. It has Photoshop 7 on it (pre CS), which was the first version to have a raw converter available. The poor thing gagged on the size of the KS files, but eventually opened them. It took a very long time. This is the laptop I purchased when I bought the istD because it was cheaper to buy it than the 4 1gb cards I thought I would need (at that time a 1gb card was about $400.00).



Well, that's odd because Ken reported that his CS2 wouldn't open his K-3 files.

To check further, I downloaded a sample K-3 DNG to test it out on my CS3. It opened fine.

Hmmm....
