Well, I've been using DigiKam and Darktable for some time and have had no problems in either program with PEF files from my K-x and now K-5IIs. DigiKam will edit them, though I prefer Darktable. (Using Ubuntu 12.04.)
Footnote: Darktable is pretty powerful, but I've found it a steep learning curve, I've recently downloaded the Darktable 1.4 user manual - it makes things clearer.
Yeah been working through the darktable manual when away, just recently found the more comprehensive version and started that, but when home never really seem to get the time I need, but I do seem to like darktable, some bits still struggle with but slowly getting there.Well, I've been using DigiKam and Darktable for some time and have had no problems in either program with PEF files from my K-x and now K-5IIs.

I assume that they will get there eventually with the PEF for the k3, now I found where I went wrong though not a problem all back to DNG.

Nope looks like the DNG converter needs something else yet, Have found that digiKam can display and organise but no editing of the images either, no worries on it they weren't anything important, just some stuff trying out with new kit.

Righto, I think it's just a new camera thing. I see that K3 support appeared in the base libraw 0.16 which came out 18th Jan, so you can expect this to appear in darktable (and other open source software) as they update to the newer libraw versions.
Darktable by preference uses 'rawspeed' rather than 'libraw' libraries and I can't see that there is support for K3 PEFs on that yet. If you care to submit a couple of PEFs to the rawspeed project to speed things up they provide an anonymous upload link for that purpose at

Have submitted a file for the project, managed to get DNG converter, though I think it was part of another software package, so just working through it all now, thankfully there isn't a lot of images, just a few that I was trying out for the new setup, see what adjustments needed.
As a side I definitely confirmed it was down to the user modes the default RAW in the user mode was PEF, have now changed all to DNG, must remember to read all the info when playing with the menus
Thanks again

Hello gwing, darktable is 1.4.1 and are k3 images.
I will have a look for the dng converter.
The good news it was finger trouble as such, the RAW was set to DNG apart from the user mode I have been playing with, all other RAW have been DNG so looks like it was just with that user setting, I either saved the profile before setting the RAW format or something else but I think it is sorted for that side now.
Will let you know how I get on.

Either down to running the firmware update or finger trouble (most likely), I have ended up with a load of PEF RAW files.
Darktable will not import/edit them but I can get them opened in GIMP, what will I be best saving them to? just after the best option for retaining the detail that RAW has captured.
I know I could use GIMP for any of the editing but I am still working on getting my head around Darktable and carrying out PP without confusing matters and trying to learn GIMP as well.
Thanks

Quality, really like this one

Maybe they can get 2 jobs done with a single piece of glass or they have perfected a lens and don't need an additional to correct that error.
if that makes sense, in my head it does

It was the WR version, very happy so far, no serious shots yet, but wide open the Tamron gave slight colour fringe (green) behind the point of focus, the Pentax has very slight infront (pinky/red) and behind (green) but this is only on a high contrast subject, the rest seems to be bob on, for £343 am a very camper, and no worries on dust or weather now InFESTation wrote:

Was it the WR version that you bought/received, or the DFA non-WR? I don't have funds at the moment (and everything that I might consider selling is going very cheaply at present!), but have wanted the WR version for ages! It appears that their prices are keen and service is good!Received Special Delivery this morning , have to get the Tammy put up for sale I think, I will miss the aperture ring, but seeing as most the other lens don't have one think I will cope
