RAW Format, *ist DS and Photoshop?
I tried the RAW plugin on the Pentax site for the *ist D but Photoshop will not read the files. I cannot see a RAW plugin for the *ist DS anywhere. I can open the files using the Pentax software but I am thiinking that I may as well just shoot in Jpeg until there is a RAW plugin available!
Any ideas anyone.
Thanks.

Re: RAW Format, *ist DS and Photoshop?
Adobe's site only shows the *ist D, not the DS yet. Here's the page that shows what cameras that currently work with Camera Raw: http://www.adobe.com/products/photos...l?camerarawnav
I've heard that even though two cameras are from the same manufacturer, the way the files are read can be a little different - that's probably why the D plug-in doesn't work with the DS. Should just be a matter of time before the DS plug-in is out.
Did the camera come with a RAW converter? If not, you could either get (buy?) theirs or shoot jpeg until Adobe gets it done.
Re: RAW Format, *ist DS and Photoshop?
Yes I have the RAW conversion software from Pentax but would simply prefer to use Photoshop. JPEG will be perfectly fine for most of my photography but I still want the option to use RAW and use the tools of my choice. The plugin for the D model does not work with files from the DS model, I am sure Adobe will have them soon but the DS has been out for some time.
Thanks.

I see Adobe has a Beta version of CR 2.4 that can be downloaded here:
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2682
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloa...jsp?ftpID=2682
It adds some new cameras - but - not the DS. Probably not a good sign for you...
