Mavericks has a RAW update I think, and Aperture 3.5 is a free upgrade

Gasp!

If you do the RAW development in camera, just like the K-5, the K-3 lets you output TIFF too, for better output quality... File size may be ginormous though.

EDIT: Hmm, I may be wrong.
p-71 of the K-3 manual says only JPG's may be saved from in-camera RAW development. However p-94 of the K-3 manual says TIFF is one of the file formats available for saving processed RAWs.

It would be a pity to lose that functionality in the K-3. Although I never used it on the K-5, it seems handy to have.

Either way, surely the K-3 comes with a software CD that would allow K-3 DNG's to be processed into JPGs?

Time for a new Computer - the files are going to be 50% bigger!

No kidding. my 16mp fuji raws are 24-25mb each. This core 2 duo E6700 chugs soooo badly in lightroom.

You can start with only a bigger harddisk (or two, or three or...) ;-)

The K-3 writes DNG version 1.2.0.0. "Backward compatibility" is also 1.2.0.0. This is a change from the K-5IIs (and Q) which wrote DNG version 1.1.0.0.

The following Adobe products should work:
DNG Converter 4.4 onwards.
ACR 4.4 onwards.
Lightroom 1.4 onwards

Will Photoshop CS6 work? What about Camera Raw - seems like all Adobe products should work - I thought DNG was an Adobe inspired 'standard"

ArneTorp · 10-31-2013, 03:28 AM

I had no problem opening the IR - RAW files from the K3 in Photoshop CS4 with Camera Raw 5.7, so I don't think there will be any problem in CS6.

Photoshop CS6 uses ACR 7. It will work. (ACR = "Adobe Camera RAW").

As far as I can tell, all Photoshops from CS3 (with its latest ACR) onwards will be OK. And all Lightroom from the last version of 1 will be OK.

rawr · 10-31-2013, 05:47 AM

All this talk about ACR and Adobe - but what about Pentax Digital Camera Utility 5, which is supposed to be on the CD included with the K-3.

Has anyone used it?

out of curiosity what do you use for video editing?
