Many thanks. I thought there had to be an easy way, just couldn't find it!

Is there a way that I can allow someone (a friend or relative) to view my portfolio on the site without having to give them my password and login details (thereby giving them access to post, delete etc. as if they were me)? Seems to me that there ought to be a way to do this, but I have not been able to find one. Since I have been in the habit of posting my "best" (in my view) shots here for a while now, it would seem a good idea, if someone is interested in seeing what I do, simply to be able to point them to the website and let them look me up, but the filtering options on the gallery page do not seem to allow a search by member name.
Or have I missed something?

Ah that is very helpful! Thanks very much for directing me to it

I am gradually trying to get to grips with the subtleties of digital photography and the myriad of features that my K-r provides. At the moment I am learning about white balance. I think I now understand what the auto setting does, when to use the various presets like "tungsten", "cloudy" etc., and how to set it using the "manual" setting.
But I am baffled by "CTE" or "colour temperature equivalent". The manual is a little oblique. It is my impression that it is advising this setting if you want to make a colour cast stronger rather than weaker, but this seems to make little sense and to do no more than manually fine tuning the white balance "wrongly".
Can anyone enlighten me as to the proper use of this setting?
Thanks.

Mystery solved! A bit of detective work has led me to realise what happened. When I first copied the files to the hard drive, I quickly scanned through them with windows explorer, just to see which ones to keep and which to junk. The ones shot in portrait more I rotated so they were right way up on the screen. When I came to edit properly with the Pentax software, these are the ones that it refused to edit, even though it would display them and other editing programs were happy to process them.

Copying them afresh from the camera and this time doing the rotation in the pentax program as well as the editing, and they work just fine!
Clearly pentax software won't touch them if anything else has been done before, even something as simple as turning them right way up!

I'm happy to have solved the mystery as much as anything, and thanks again all those of you experts out there who offered your advice.
It is good to know there is a body of knowledgeable people that one can ask easily and who area so willing to help a "newbie"!

Well I did the upgrade, made absolutely no difference! The files were copied directly from the camera to the hard drive and have not been edited with any other program. Yes I tried one or two shots to see if another program would work with them when the Pentax software refused, but there are still plenty of others which have never been opened or edited with anything else. And yes I can view them with Internet Explorer!.
So for the time beng it is an unresolved mystery.
I can edit with Photoshop or phtosuite instead, I just liked the Pentax program because of the close correlation between what it lets you do and the actual camera settings.
I've contacted Pentax support as a last resort and will wait to see what they say.
But thanks to everyone for your suggestions and help.

The computer is certainly powerful enough, 4Gb RAM, Windows 7. All the images load in seconds. But the puzzle is that all the images are JPEGs, none of them RAW. All about 5Mb size. Some of them it will let me change exposure, white balance, colour contrast etc. etc. and editing is really fast, only a second or two and I can save the edited picture just fine. Others the mouse just won't activate the pointers, drop-down menus or anything and the editing buttons are greyed out on the tool bar. Acts as if the image is read only but it's not. Other photoediting programs will happily edit these shots, just not the pentax digital camera utility 4.
It seems my version is not the latest, I'm on 4.30 instead of 4.32 so I will try the update, but to be honest I don't really expect it to make a difference after reading the "what's new in this version" blurb. But I'll let you know when it is loaded!

I've just begun starting to "play" with Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4 and hope to "clean up" a few exposure errors in a set of wedding photos. All taken at the same time, all more or less the same settings. The software will open all of the pictures, but for a reason I can't figure it will only allow me to edit some of them. Thought at first it would let me edit the landscape ones but not the portrait ones, but found a few exceptions to this. So far as I'm aware none of them are locked or unlocked any differently from the rest. I'm sure there is something trivial here I've overlooked, but the manual is not much help.
Anyone come across this before or know what to do?
