Sorry you feel that way.
I was merely pointing out that I thought it was too high a price. Anyone considering buying it would have probably looked at SRS to see what they were asking for a new K7 and arrived at the same conclusion.

I'm glad you managed to sell it anyway.

It can't be the forum or their server since others, me included, have not had any problems with it - it is loading at it's normal high speed for me, and always has done.

I see no link in the first post, and the hoverfly/purple flower in the second. No we squares for me either.

Well I am now on my netbook and it is still as fast as it was on the PC. This is really odd.

Just had a thought - I don't think PSE6 will support the Kx in ACR as you can't update it to the right version of ACR.
SO forget what I said earlier about playing in ACR and PSE6. Sorry .

Well my K20D is a mess with ACR.

Just had a look at some from the Ist Ds and they too are a mess.

I have ACR 5.5. Can't load anything later that that .

I'll just have to wait for PSE9, surely it must be coming soon?

Interesting Terry. What camera do you have?

Maybe the newest ACR (which I can't download having PSE6) is better?

Techno, choose a RAW photo. Open it in PSE. It will go straight to Camera RAW.

It will come up with the default setting for your camera. Generally this is not brilliant for Pentax. Try the auto setting. Click default again to reset it.
Now play with the white balance settings at the top - choose the different defaults, or just slide the sliders around to see what they do.
Do the same then with Exposure, recovery etc. play with them, see what effects they produce. You can always go back to your original settings - white balance choose As Shot and exposure etc choose default.
Do the same with the bottom three sliders.

When you have finished playing either press cancel to cancel the whole thing, or if you like what you have done then I suggest you press whatever the Mac equivalent of Alt is and open - this will open a copy of your adjusted RAW file in the editor. The original will be completely untouched. If you lose your way completely press alt-cancel to reset the photo.
You can then play with the editor and see what different things do. If you like the results save it as a jpeg, PSD or Tiff (but that's big!). If you don't then just close it.
No harm done and you have passed a rainy summers evening learning a bit more about PSE.

Scary at first but you can only learn it by doing it. A book will help but hands on is best.

Relax! Have fun!

Mongoose your link just leads back to this thread.

Downloads too fast to time here.
Very odd.
