Slightly off topic, but can somebody tell me how to get the 30day lightroom 4 trial.
I have hit the download button 20 times or more and got nothing.

Read both M Evening and S Kelby books and they both tell you how to import files from folders out side of lightroom but i can not find any reference on how to export them out again, just to photoshop for any work then they go back to lightroom.

Having read some of Martin Evening's book on lightroom i dont think its for me.
I would like the image processing part of it but dont want the library part, i am happy where i keep my shots, so upgrading to elements 11 might be the way to go as the ACR as been updated.
I will download the 30 day tial and give it a go, and see what happens.

IMHO you might see two new cameras from Pentax, a FF and a replacement for the K-5. But they just might look the same, but with different sensors and different tweeks to the electronics etc.
This would save a lot on R&D cost, a lot of things are made this way just look at cars.
In money terms it would make sense for a company the size of Pentax.
Just an idea.

It maybe possible to write a piece of software to stop you doing this,then no one except the buyer of the camera the software came with can use it (PARANOID SILKYPIX)

If you look at the pentax downloads, it shows you which software works with which camera.McGregNi wrote:
I am still puzzled by what we are hearing about some of these latest cameras - ie they are coming with what appears to be an earlier version of Silkypix. It is quite obviously a completely different program to PDCU. It would be good to know what are the file type compatibilities between the two - eg does PDCU4 open RAW files from a K30? This is still a DSLR isn't it, so I would have thought it would record into the normal .pef / .dng as the other DSLRs. ??
Obviously the other cameras you list are a different category - I know the Q models are basically CSC types, not sure about the K-01 - is that a DSLR? Maybe they are recording to a different file type not compatible with PDCU. The K-30 remains a mystery though.
ASAIK the most recent update to PDCU, 4.4, includes support for specific features of the new K5-11 /s. So PDCU is continuing for this line of cameras at least.

The Q/Q10/K-01 and K-30 must use the same eletronics for the files.
I am sure some one on the forum more tech minded than me will be able to enlighten use.

You state you use 4.3, the K-30 came with 3.0 and checking the web site it only has 3.0.0.8 as a download.
Where did you get 4.3 from as there are a lot of Pentax sites.

Update the K-30 comes with silkypix developer studio not PDCU.Nigel
