All - after encouragement from @CWRailman (Denny), I have posted an article on processing Pentax Q images in Lightroom. It's really just an example of how I go about it, but hopefully it will prove useful.

Great tutorial. I'm just learning Lightroom after having relied on PS Camera Raw for several years, and this seems like a great starting point. Thanks for sharing.

I once sold all my Q gear. The thing I missed most, I think, was access to the helpful, engaged people on the PF Q subforum. This tutorial continues that fine tradition.

Thanks, Mike. I've had lots of assistance from that same group of helpful, engaged people, so it's nice to be able to contribute in some small way

For anyone still interested, I've added links to the original JPEG and DNG files, as well as the intermediate TIFF and final JPEG files from Lightroom, so you can download them and try out the processing.

The links are at the bottom of the article, or you can download them here:

Straight-out-of-camera JPEG (875 KB)
Straight-out-of-camera DNG RAW (18 MB)
Intermediate TIFF (16 MB)
Final processed JPEG (2 MB)
