You should have taken Barrie up on his offer
Northern Rail are supposed to be increasing the service in April and hopefully they'll continue with the £10 ticket offer in the paper (I do have the vouchers so will have to arrange something another day.)
Hope you all have a great day (and not get too wet!)

Even worse, apparently buses replace trains between Driffield and Bridlington/Scarborough tomorrow. By time I got there you'd all be gone home!

I tried Lightroom but didn't like the way it wants to load up every image it finds before you can work on the one you want whereas Photoshop & Serif programs just load the image you want, let you work on it and save it back to the hard drive. That's all I need!
I also still use an old (2001) version of Serif's PagePlus for DTP work and even though I have a much newer version installed as well I find the older version is less cluttered and more stable (and that happened to be a magazine cover disc give-a-way!) Of course that isn't a photo editing program but it does get fed photos!
Another possibility to try is DXO Optics Pro. It is more like a Lightroom clone. I have it installed and use it occasionally.
Yet another (freeware) program with many useful options is IrfanView. I like that one and use it quite often.
I presume you've tried the Pentax software that came with the camera? Some do actually like that although I found it a bit slow to do anything and got frustrated with it.

PEF user here. There doesn't appear to be a downside with obsolescence since there's a free DNG coder from Adobe that will convert PEF to DNG if your need to.

To remove the colour cast, Photoshop Elements has a tool to remove colour casts that worked a treat. It's a simple as clicking on something that should be either black, white or grey. I chose a cloud. Let me know if you wish to see my fiddled with version (I won't upload it here as you yourself seem reluctant to do that.)
Recovering the over exposure is more tricky, if indeed practical from a jpeg. As Steve hints at, a raw image would normally have more scope for fixing under/over exposure and colour balance issues plus a whole lot else!
If you set the camera to raw+ you get both a jpeg and a raw file. If the jpeg is fine you could delete the raw, or if not adjust the raw file and save it back out as a jpeg.
