The Switch off -picture is delicious. It would look great on a wall (as it does..).

The thing is that when you open RAW file directly in dedicated RAW converter, it generally produces a preview with your default preferences, so it looks better right "out from the box".I'm puzzled by the comment that Bridge displays low quality previews.

Hi, this is my first post, but I've been reading the forum a while.
There are several threads about details of some programs but not wanting to to hijack any of them, here goes a new one:
I use Pentax K30 with ACR (Adobe Camera Raw)+ Photoshop. It works OK but I'm not entirely happy with the workflow: 1st you must open Adobe Bridge, where the previews are less than high quality. 2nd you open ACR plugin, make adjustments and 3rd, open picture in Photoshop. If you master the software you can have very good results but the workflow is awkward.
Lightroom. Apparently all that is in Lightroom is also (and more) in Photoshop/ACR. Besides I don't like Lightroom's archive system. "I own your files".
I tried the program that came with the camera: SILKYPIX Developer Studio 3.0. I've have forgotten the details, but was not impressed.
I assume Pentax Camera Utility does not work with K30, as it is not offered with it.
Before I used Bibble->AfterShot Pro. At this time I regard it as the best that I've tried as to the workflow, but unfortunately it does not yet support K30 files.
I would like to hear what are your experiences, preferences and recommmendations, dear pentaxians.
