You need the Camera Raw 6.3 (or later) plugin available from Adobe's site

It will not work if the raw filw is PEF format. try shooting DNG and it should. Adobe will not support the newer Pentax cameras on the older software

CS2 will accept PEF RAW. I always thought that whatever you can do in previous versions of P.Shop, you could do in newer ones as well.

K-7 or K-5 PEFs? I bet it can't.

Earlier cameras sure - I had CS3, and ACR 4 could open K10D PEFs, but not K-5 ones.

Features, perhaps.

It's the new version of ACR (that can read the newer PEFs) that old versions of CS can't use.

I was obviously mistaken then into thinking that all PEF files are the same. But why are they different? Surely it would make sense to make them all the same.
But having said that camera manufacturers don't seem to use sense do they! I should have realised that. (Stupid Boy)

If I had a quid for every time I'd heard myself or someone else say 'surely' in this sort of context

I would sooooooo love to get some Pentax senior technical guys in a room, fill them full of truth serum, and get to the truth about all the mad things they do and don't do.

We'd probably discover that the answer would often be "yes we know, X Y Z is crap, but we were never given the time/people/budget to do things properly, and the managers were always on our case, wanting everything yesterday."

Much like most businesses.

JR is banned from that room, by the way

Is it not just a case of putting the same basic RAW software into every camera? Or is that too simplistic, or am I again being stupid.(feel free to express your feelings on that one).

You've now used the words 'surely' and 'just' in two consecutive posts.

It all ends in tears when you start talking like that...
