Have a good time, I look forward to seeing the images

Well, I guess the camera just records the settings in the file - they would be 'applied' to the JPEG preview by the camera processor, but the RAW would need to be opened into PDCU before the recorded settings were applied.
It seems to me that in RAW, other than the compulsory NR applied by the camera (described here and about which we can do nothing) and the use or not of DarkFrameSubtraction, the effects of the menu NR options are limited to the JPG preview (with a possible time penalty due to this).
The bigger question, which we never seem to get answered for certain, is whether any Pentax camera settings recorded in the RAW files are detected and acted upon by any third party editors, such as Lightroom, ACR, RawTherapee etc.
ACR for instance, will eventually become K3-aware, but what this really means, other than provision of a new Adobe-Standard camera profile is a bit of a mystery to me.
In this new web-enabled, info-rich era I would have expected more definitive information to be available, but in the main it is speculation that we have, some of it well-informed, much of it less so.
Companies are obviously going to be selective about what propriety information they divulge but could release a lot more information that would be helpful to customers and inform discussions such as this.

I did find the following LX-related items whilst I was looking:
Two case top covers for larger lenses,
A LX user manual,
The 79 page review of the LX system by Geofrey Crawley,
A LX focusing screen.
You are welcome to any/all of it as I no longer need it.
If you can use it, P.M. me your address.
