Originally posted by silvershoes I've tried a number of different programs and keep going back to the Pentax stuff for RAW processing. I get much better results than I do with things like ACR. Of course I finish up in PSCS3, but I would anyway.
I agree with you 100%. I too use Photo Laboratory, but much like yourself, strictly for RAW->JPEG or TIFF conversion. I love colors of Pentax, and every other converter I've tried - colors, contrast, white balance and overall appearance of the photos are very different... In Photo Laboratory and camera - I like what I see, and I get exactly that.
But indeed, I use another software to finish up the photos (if I have to) - CS3, as the rest of the controls/adjustments and gui of Photo Laboratory I find very cumbersome, awkward...
