Nothing wrong with Picasa or RSE but I don't understand ...
Why you don't simply look at the PEF files using Photoshop CS' File
Browser? File Browser in CS, and Bridge supplied with Photoshop CS2,
allows you to browse, sort, rotate, and set up the RAW conversion
parameters for Camera Raw. You can then have all the files converted
as a batch operation directly to Photoshop CS[2] format for further
processing.
The RAW file originals remain unaltered in any case.

For some time I've used Picassa2 to look at the Ds RAW files before
starting to process with RSE and Photoshop CS. But this morning I
thought "What the hell!" and used it to alter contrast and
brightness and added some fill light in some cases. The results are
pretty good. If it were not that Picassa2 alters the originals I
think I might start using it to do the whole job. In fact, I'm
going to copy two sets of files from a card and see how Picassa2
results compare with the normal RSE converted output. Of course
I'll still have to use CS for scaling (Genuine Fractals), to add
sharpening in some cases and make the final TIFF.
