This has turned into a very informative thread by the detailed
responses from experienced photographers.
I did benefit immensely.
I will be trying Lightroom for some time, to understand the processes better.
For future visitors, I must tell that this is no trivial matter as raw
developers have

I use LightZone and still like it very much. However,
There are several of areas of differences where image quality is
concerned with raw conversion. Let's consider the process, to first
order approximation:
- chroma interpolation is the stage where the raw processor takes the
bayer matrix data and extracts from it RGB channel organized data ...

Now that you mention it, Bulent, it was the K-20D that turned me away
from LightZone. It worked reasonably well with the K-10D, but turned
the shadow areas of K-20D raw files into mush. The noise handling was
very poor too, I ended up buying NoiseNinja for Photoshop (CS3 I think
it was) to

I understand that a raw developer software works like the clasical
darkroom developer (solution).
There are different varieties producing different outputs from the
same negative/raw file.

It is not clear to me if you are talking about transferring the Curves
to Photoshop, Lightroom or some other program.
It seems unlikely to me that you can do what you want to do because
each piece of software is like a black box. You have no idea what it
is doing with the values you give to it.
Bulent,
I don't know how you do it, but Lightroom 3 pre-sets sound like the solution.
I went to a David Ziser seminar with Paul Sorenson earlier this year.
Ziser makes liberal use of pre-sets on all the raw files he imports.
You need somebody on the web to have figured this out for you already.

My question is this:
Is there a practical way (other than trial and error) to
use/copy/replicate the effect of a curve of, say, Silkypix for another
raw developer?
Or, the curves are hidden, embedded, protected etc.?
Bulent,
