Yes - I would want to reset all the images to 'Natural'

I have done a silly. Was wondering why my images (with the K-7) of late have been looking a little washed out. I thought the camera might be faulty but discovered today that I had inadvertently set the Custom Image setting to 'muted'.

Oh, learned ones - is there anyway of changing that setting within the RAW file and saving it as RAW? (The Pentax utility prog allows one to change it, but you have to then save as a tiff or jpeg). Going on from that if it is possible, can one do it in bulk?

Thanks for any help in advance

One wonders why he had the camera body in the first place!

I am happy to have something on the front of lens!

Opposite experience myself, camera toppled off a gadget bag - a whole 8 inches onto a carpeted floor, and expensive 1A filter smashed all over the front element causing a lot of scratches. Never, ever again will I consider these things as 'protection'. Protection perhaps against inept cleaning.

I'm intrigued by your logic,though "It smashed, leaving minimal damage to the lens itself". Your lens was damaged but you think it might have been worse without the filter?
Basically the filter ring mangled. The front end of the lens body very slightly bent. There was a very slight mark on the front element of the lens - in light of your experience I got away lightly it would seem!

I used to use PSP 7 years ago, so eventually bought PSP X3. BUT nothing but trouble trying to install it so have given up on it for the time being
