Originally posted by stevebrot That being said...I agree that your first two images are unreasonably soft. To be honest, they look more appropriate for a P&S as opposed to a top-shelf SLR with a world class optic. Something is not right. Colors and contrast are off as well. Are we sure that something awful did not happen in PP or RAW conversion?
What are the options? Try it with SilkyPix (not much experience with it so can't guarantee that it does not add something)? Can give that a try in the coming few days. Alternatively I can compress the original PEF files (I don't think the K100D uses compression so it should reduce filesize) and dump them on the net for somebody to check them out?
EDIT: compressing does not help much over 10MB to around 9 MB
