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.
Will read your post and check if it works the same way.

The K-30/Q/Q10/K-01 use the SDS.
The K-7/X/R/5/5II/5IIS AND THE 645D use PDCU.
I am now trying to pick up the nerve to update the Firmware, knowing my luck with downloads i will turn the camera in to a door stop.

Cheers
Dave

... It says CAMERA RAW 6.7 PENTAX K-30.
ACR 6.7 is the latest version that will work with Photoshop Elements version 10.
Thanks.

Try opening ACR (by selecting a RAW file) - the current ACR version number is printed in the top left corner of the ACR window (as in the screenshot above). As I emphasised earlier, the Elements version will have fewer of the tabs on the right hand side, so fewer of the more sophisticated or multi step adjustment options. It wll have the 'Basic' section (with the key single-slider parameters, and then a noise reduction tab etc.

One useful tip - on the bar labled 'basic' there is a tiny right pointing arow on the right end - click here and a dropdown will offer a few choices to compare the current settings with the unedited version, and a couple of others I think - useful for seeing how your changes have affected the overall shot as you go.
I allways have it in full screen,so have never seen it before.
I says CAMERA RAW 6.7 PENTAX K-30.

Help>about photoshop elements just shows that it is version 10 it does not say anything about ACR, yet clicking help in the acr window brings up help for elements 11 not 10.
Very strange.

John, Mannesty and Smeggypants.
I have elements 10 and camera raw 6.2 i have tried to download 6.6 which i think is the highest you can use with 10 but have failed twice.
About importing my files i have a raw copy and a tiff in different folders so i would only need to import the raw folder "RIGHT".
Cheers

Update have now got camera raw 6.6, did not know you only download the ZIP FILE,which you have to open and double click the patchinstaller to extract the 6.6. cant tell any difference though.

Is the raw coverter in photoshop and lightroom the same.
From what i can gleam from the adobe sites, they both appear far more powerfull than the one with elements.
I have all my images store in windows pictures libary and dont use the elements organizer, they just open in the editer.
If i use lightroom can i work the same way, or do i have to import all my shots in to lightroom.
