Camera Profiles for Pentax Camera?

As of Adobe Camera Raw 4.5 and LightRoom 2, Camera Profiles are supported: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles
Unfortunately my Pentax *ist DS camera doesn't seem to be supported, nor any other Pentax camera. Apparently it is up to the manufacturer to supply Adobe with the information. Hurry up Pentax! ^_^;;

Try using a Nikon D100 profile

They use the same 6Mp sensor, and their response is remarkably similar (slight differences in reds). I bought Magna Neilsen's D100 profile for Capture 1 and that worked a treat with the *ist-D & *ist-DS. http://www.etcetera.cc/
Gave lovely colours (that was before I had Silkypix though )

Hope that helps!

I downloaded the profiles and put them into Lightroom 2.
The K10D was recognised straight away.

Cheers, Mike, I see that you are right: I did a search for all DCP files on my system and Pentax has indeed provided a standard profile for each of their DSLR models, including the *ist DS. Very good. I noticed that Nikon and Canon have gone a little further and provided profiles for Vivid, Landscape, Portrait, etc.

Remembering Matt's suggestion that the Nikon D100 uses the same sensor, I downloaded the DNG Profile Editor, loaded a DNG 1.2 file generated from a *ist DS PEF file and loaded the Nikon D100 profiles one by one and saved them off as *ist DS profiles. (remember to remove the '*' in the proposed file name) I have hardly had the time to work with the resulting profiles, but at first glance it looks somewhat promising; at least it kept me busy on a Sunday afternoon

FYI: For all of you using Camera Raw or Lightroom 2, I noticed that the DNG Profiles on the Adobe website have been updated a couple of days before: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles
No idea what the update actually means for the Pentax camera entries.

excellent this is great camera

What do you mean with that Mike?

I don't see an lot of difference between the beta and the non beta
