It's strange that the Japanese seem not to have embraced PS CS RAW though Silkypix is a pretty cool little package. I followed the link to the "SILKYPIX Developer Studio" yesterday and installed it. It has a whole lot more pre-set options than CS PS RAW and seems better integrated WRT colour and camera settings (seems better than PLab) http://www.silkypix.com/ BTW There is a very recent upgrade to Pentax Remote Assistant on the Pentax Japan web site, v1.01, don't know what it fixes but it contains the US version too and it's not made it to the Pentax US web site as yet.
