Is your RAW converter updated to recognise your PEF files? Updates are needed for every new camera model as the PEF files are camera specific.

Hi John,Thank's for help; I am not sure, I did go to the Pentax site and check for and download updates I found,So I THINK I am up to date but not certain. How do I check please?

You need the Adobe site for updates to the Adobe Camera RAW, which will included the latest pentax cameras shortly after they were released.

CS3 works with the K20D/K200D & K-m and earlier cameras but the K-X and the K-7 don't work.
Here is a link to all Photoshop updates

Are you using a K-7?
If so CS3 won't work as Adobe want you to use CS4!

No, I'm using K20D. Pray tell how I go about changing PEF to DNG?

I usually do shoot DNG but somehow twiddled some knobs and used PEF my mistake for a while; I swapped back to DNG as soon as I realised.
Thanks for the link, I'll give it a go

Hmmm that should have done the trick for the K20D and Photoshop CS3.
What happens when you try to open a PEF file?

I always start yelling at my screen if it does that but it has never worked
The adobe camera raw update should have done the trick...
Could you do this for me?
In CS3 window go to Help>System Info you will get a list and if it's correct you can see copy, if you do that do you want to paste it here in a comment.
We can then see what plug-ins are installed and such inside CS3.

I have found and tried (see below) and it works
"You could try installing FastPicture Viewer Codec pack. It does support Windows 7 x64 and PEF. I am using that on my system. And it's free."
Fast Picture Viewer | WIC RAW Codec Pack for Windows 7, Vista and XP
In future I shall be sure to use only RAW and not PEF's
However, a BIG thank you for taking the bother to help
