When the first baby laughed for the first time,
the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about,
and that was the beginning of fairies.

Congratulations, Clarky.
Hopefully the house is crowded with fairies.

Jack, the problem is that it was flashing other then that it was splendid.
Maybe replacing it with something else would be better.
Didn't had an comment on my emoticon so far, but if there are problems please say so.

The specs don't say everything Jack.
I've no idea how the camera handles, that's my concern at the moment.
My uncle is going to get the K-X soon with the two kit lenses, would make a small report about it when I've tried it out.

Would price should the DA*16-50 be to make it interesting?
I can get it for around £645 at the moment at the local shop.

Jack your flashing emoticon is quite annoying you know

About the cameras... I don't know, haven't tried the K-X yet so can't comment on that.

Not really he (the OP) asked for a RAW alternative in his third post.

One thing you might also miss and what I realize now are the local controls you've with Lightroom. Silkypix doesn't have it, just checked and Capture one neither so far as I know.
Slikypix is also slower then the other RAW converters I tried, results are good though so far (2 photos).

ps. a small question.
Is there a way to open you silkypix creation in photoshop without creating an extra file?
Since now I create an file open it in photoshop and throw the file away

Very true Richard, all of it.

Tried the trials for Silkypix, Capture one and Lightroom before picking the one that's going to be used mainly.
Have tried Silkypix for two weeks but got lost in the interface too many times that I gave up. Capture one was quite good but picked LR since that one worked the easiest and had to make the least steps with it before getting an finished product.
So good as every photo also goes through Photoshop and well one click in LR will open it in PS without adding additional files or quality lost.

With other converters I got the imported RAW files then a Tiff for in PS and the final output.
With LR + PS combo, I only have the imported RAW and the PS output, far cleaner system that way.

At the moment I'm giving the new Capture one v4 a try again, I'm only having problems with my colour profile though.
Might give Slikypix another spin as well, hopefully they have improved things to make it more accessible.

ps. downloading SP now for another try...

That's not true you've many more browsers like Opera, Chrome and Safari spring to mind now.
So far as I know Opera and Safari have the best support for web standards so they would be worth a try.

People with opinions just go around bothering each other.

When you say personally you can say a lot of things what does not necessary needs to be true generally and things like IQ are subjective matter as well.
Saying that nothing is better then Silkypix does not have to be true for everyone.

That was all I was trying to say Matt and Pete, no need to defend the software.

No need to be shouting either!

You put that quite boldly Pete.
I wonder why not everyone is using it.
