An alternate approach, if you don't mind the command line or console, is to install dcraw. It will allow you convert to 16 bit tiff, with a lot of options.
And finally, (or firstly) have a search on the forum re K-50 software, and see the stories about having a correctly named file on a card to allow proper installation of a non-disc copy of the software.

Thanks Terry. Luckily I shot in both raw + today because of course I wanted to see how things came out, and must of known I buggered something up. Funny thing is faststone is able to show me both the dng and jpeg files, so I know they came out ok,or as ok as my skill allowed today :-)
I have read of the benefits of PP and wanted to give it a go. Didn't see much difference using faststone, hence trying silkypix (or trying to). I am sure it is something silly that I have done or missed. Tried searching and will continue to using your suggestion, maybe I will find the answer. Maybe I should try another free software....
Thanks again
