I think I solved it...
if your "open with" prefereence is not "preview" like for example it's PSE and the program you have selected does not support pef then no icons will be generated.
you have to set "Preview" as the default "open with" program.

this has happened before...and got fixed..

and I suspect if enough people chime in :

but...
if the k-01 and k-30 are to gauge by, I'd say the pef format is going to be abandoned... by Pentax anyways... time to switch to dng..

It is an interesting dilemma and far too complicated to resolve. Although I actually think the basis of the article which was the behaviour of the photographer in India may be a little erroneous as the current investigation is to whether he was actually encouraging this woman's assault, link which is a different thing altogether.
in that bass ackwards country, I'd say the photographer is being framed... for publishing embarrassing to the country photos he's showing the world how barbaric that society can be....

grain of sand jammed into the area between the shutter button and the camera body...
fine sewing needle and air blower should get it out, if you can see it.

Great ideas Don

I don't know what heat you get off the 4 bulbs, but cold cathode
ones are possibly cooler.
less than a single 60 watt incandescent for 4x23 watt cfls...
well under the 150 watt incandescent rating for that sized paper lantern.

also some of these lights put out a fair bit in the uv range, so the uv filter might help a bit, can't hurt... I've not needed one but, some people swear by them.

anything marked "daylight" color balance, also look for "full spectrum" and "grow" lamps...
for a slightly warm look go with "natural white" if using florescents, keep your shutter speeds below 1/125.

also consider using a cto gel on your flash to warm it up a bit to matchnormal halogen or incandescant lights...

here is a clip shot mostly on a kr though the shot of the kr is done on a sony..lol!
note both cameras used the same light, the sony on auto, and the kr everything on manual..
what do you think? I was testing out a homemade camera skate dolly.. ignore the sound... I wuz reusing a soundclip I made for a movie I'm shooting..

i paid a dollar for the toy skateboard put larger wheels on it and will get smoother tracking once I clean those bearings... but thi is still $1.00 for a device that would cost $99.00 to 125.00 at a camera store..
