Tethered capture with Pentax K10D?

Sorry if this has been asked before. I've been trying to figure out if it is possible to do tethered capture with the K10D, or in other words, shooting directly to the computer.
I have used the software that comes with the camera and was able to do something close to it, to where you can trigger the shutter through the computer, then a window pops up asking you if you want to keep the photo, yada yada.. but that's not really practical.
Does anyone know? I wonder if using Lightroom would allow me to do it, but I don't own it.

Hi there Belle - welcome to the forum.

There have been several discussions about this in the past; have a look here:

and here:

https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/Instant-view-on-laptop-5483

for starters.

It seems that some members have had a degree of luck but not using Lightroom. Capture One seems to do the trick though. Have a look at the threads above and if you've got any further questions feel free to ask away!

...and just had a quick look at your website - really like those doll shots even though I found a few of them strangely unsettling. Great work!

That's exactly what I felt! Good work Belle, and welcome to the forum. Nice to see something quite different.
