Evening all
I have two files, from my first go at raw.
The first is a DNG FILE 12.1MB this is the raw one the second file is PDS and is 36.7mb, apart from tweeking the balance on the raw i have done nothing else as yet. So why is the PDS FILE so big.
Regards

If you open a RAW/DNG photo in the editor it automatically goes to the ACR dialog.
I don't know which version of ACR will read K-r RAW. It should tell you somewhere on the Adobe site which version supports it.
If your version can't read them then convert them to DNG and then you will have no problems.
Thanks Gwyn
I thought that was answer, just needed to make sure.

As you deal with China do you have any idea what the import duty is on photo gear.

Depends upon how it gets shipped...

Customs handling fee - typically between £8 - £18 (though possibly higher, or even lower!)

VAT - 20% of the declared value of the goods (20% is UK vat rate)

Import tax - depends on the commodity (lens/ camera body, flashgun, etc)

If you care to PM me what you had in mind for importing, I'll check the online integrated tariff at work for the duty rate. It's a subscription-based service, and I don't have the login ID here at home. As a guide though, work on the basis (for now at least) that import tax is levied at between 4-7%, and you won't be too far out.

If you bought a £500 camera, expect to pay:

Customs fee = £25 (shown for estimated calculation only)
VAT = £100 (£20 per £100 spent)
Import tax @ 7% = £35

So, the bottom line is that all in, your shiny new camera has cost you £660 in total (minus shipping fees).
Thanks Steven
I will keep the figures in case i need them.

Dave
