I think it might be Photoshop Album Starter Edition as that is the only reference I can find to a version 3.2 product...

I don't know how many flavours of DNG converter there are, but I certainly have one called "Adobe DNG Converter.exe" which is a small, stand-alone Windows program with a typically unintuitive Adobe interface. But it works.

Really, I thought being an Adobe thing it would be a plug-in and not work as a stand alone program (don't they love to rake in the cash). Do they really give you something for 'nothing'?I don't know how many flavours of DNG converter there are, but I certainly have one called "Adobe DNG Converter.exe" which is a small, stand-alone Windows program with a typically unintuitive Adobe interface.

Good to know, although I don't know how useful it will be.
An other problem is that RAF files from that sensor are interpolated to 6MP, some RAW developers take only 3MP worth of data and the DNG converter may do the same. Not that 3MP is that bad, especially when the 6MP was interpolated to start with.

Silkypix deals very well with JPEG files. I am not aware that it minds where they come from - it deals with my very old Fuji files without a murmur.
Seems a pity to let an old camera dictate your choice of software. This is where DNG is so useful. Convert your S20Pro files to DNG and you have no problem. Lightroom's successor, or its successor's successor probably won't handle your old RAW files either, and probably not the K10D's too.
When the K10D becomes obsolete, a-converting I shall go.

Is the DNG converter not a plugin for newer versions of Photoshop? I'm stuck with Elements 2 which is quite basic and has no RAW support at all. Perhaps my memory is going and JPEG was fine but lack of RAW support was the problem. I'm sure you couldn't play with JPEG files when I looked at it.Silkypix deals very well with JPEG files.

I am going to be using Lightroom for many years, as long as I've got my K10D in all likelihood. I see no reason to upgrade and if PEF goes away I'll still have Lightroom and a copy of XP. The older RAW files are important at the moment because it is my partner's camera and she needs to be able to develop them. They can be converted if needed now that I have Lightroom but not without.
Either way, I am very happy with Lightroom and how it deals with files. In fact, I am more than very happy, I am exceedingly pleased. I'd buy it again and have no regrets, second best thing I've got for photography (first being my K10D ). The time this kind of software saves

Yes, SilkyPix stand alone needs to be downloaded. There is the free version which has a few limitations and the upgraded version you have to pay for to get the unlock code.
I tried it but the lack of JPEG support and RAW support for anything other than DSLRs put me off. Need to be able to process RAF foles from an S20Pro, correct old JPEGs and JPEGs from other people and RAW from my K10D. Lightroom is the only program that does this.
On a different but related note, anyone used Photomatix for HDR and tone mapping?

I think the Bigma is really the best available by the time Sigma get more into the country you might have saved that bit extra. I don't think 320mm is long enough for wildlife, 400mm minimum really (500 is good). Otherwise you are still too close and they fly/run/bounce away.
I think the 135-400 is sharper than the 170-500 but, I'd wait for a few more replies.

Cheaper to make it really, and very easy (if you have a suitable object). Used some greaseproof paper and blue tack last time I needed to use my flash and couldn't find anything else.

Probably taken with built in flash, so it is hard to prevent.

Could be a lot of things, but I think the suggestions here are good.
Slowness of image transfer could be the USB ports or if you are using a different card reader it is a slow one, go back to the old one.
The hard disk could be on its way out and doing strange things, back up just in case.

Sorry, but what do the F6.7-8 or whatever mean when refering to the lights?
