Hi Barry.
Tooks aquick look at my emails an don;t see an answer to this question, so
i'll attempt
one.
I have the istD and the firm ware is upto date. Check the pentax web site to
see if
anything is
upgraded for the Ds.
I have been using raw as of late, and some other very experienced list members
have bee
using it a
lot longer than i.
I find Raw reworks are great. Then Pentax software is crap AFAIC.
If you want to spend big bucks get CS or CS2. I have been using PSEL 3 and the
Raw
cobverter works
very well.
Hope that helps
