Its in elements to, in my copy It shares a button with sponge tool (yellow sponge icon) and the dodge tool (lollipop) burn tool is a hand symbol. Left click on icon to change function. It is located at the bottom of the tool bar.
Thanks punkrockemo.Its in elements to, in my copy It shares a button with sponge tool (yellow sponge icon) and the dodge tool (lollipop) burn tool is a hand symbol. Left click on icon to change function. It is located at the bottom of the tool bar.
Will go and have a play, see if i can get some decent monochrome prints.
Might have to buy a cheep clour printer and change it to a B/W using third party inks the px720wd is great for A4 colour but not for B/W IMHO.
Thanks again, some one always comes up trumps on pentax user.
Cheers

What could be the limiting factor is the software itself. As some of the functions were greyed out it sounds like you have an older version of Elements. Elements 6 doesn't allow image manipulation in 16 bits though files can be opened and resaved in another format such as a 16 bit TIFF.
As other have said it is better to work in 16 bits and do the final save in 8 bits if possible.
With Elements 6 you can change the bit depth in the Image/Mode setting. So transfer the raw file in 16 bit and convert it to 8 bit if you need to to work on the file.

I have elements 10, i will work in 16 bits from now on and switch to 8 if i need to use any of the grayed out tools.
I am not very good with elements so use only the very basics.
Thanks for all the replies.

Hi all
When you open a raw file, at the bottom of the window it shows 8 bits/ channel which you can change to 16 bits. does this give a better image or should i just leave it at 8 bits.
Also i noticed some functions are grayed out with 16 bits and you can only save in about 5 file types.

Thanks all
I down load the images using a card reader and use windows photo library to store them, my be if you try to down load the same images twice it recognizes them and wont down load, it down loaded the rest of the images i had taken after the ones i had allready down loaded but had forgotten to delete, hope this makes sense.
I thought you would be able to down load to different laptops but wanted to make sure.

I have allways left the color space on sRGB, would it be better to change to adobeRGB as the book states it gives you a wider range of colour.
Cheers
Dave
Edit the K-R is on adobe i have left the K-30 on sRGB
