Bro, you're definitely missing out on a lot if you're not shooting RAW.
Besides with all the high end lenses that you've got, it does seem like a waste if you're not taking advantage of the superior results that can be extracted from a RAW file.
I think you need to be assimilated into the RAW collective... resistance is futile. :bsmilie:

Good Stuff...
But very SLOW...
Its like everytime I load my pictures into my computer I have to convert it... SLOW...
Any faster reccomendations?

- Get a faster computer
- Use a fast SD card (Sandisk Extreme)
- Upgrade to Photoshop CS5
- Shoot in DNG and not PEF
BTW I don't find it particularly slow to convert to DNG from PEF on my Mac.

I think perhaps the problem lies with my computer.
Because I'm using a Netbook not to convert PEF to DNG. HAHAS.
I'm using Sandisk Ultra ll.
Not good enough for a K-X?
Ha ha,
real honest answer is that I am not a high end photographer. I only see myself as the 75/100 mark guy (ie. don't fail can already
).

Maybe u can use lightroom...u can export the pic out to become JPG format.

Don't worry JK, I also jpeg user. I only hobbyist, not high crass enough. :bsmilie:
Since you are using a netbook, shoot in DNG(as pointed out by Creampuff), then u skip one process of converting from PEF to DNG. :bsmilie:
If not JPEG.. even faster...
Ur Sandisk Ultra II is good enough bah..
Netbook? for RAW
I think you like pins/needles and self flagellation
I do have a netbook running Picasa (which opens up PEF and DNG). Decent enough running, but it will pause for some actions like sharpen and 1:1 viewing. So you might want to try that.
My final solution was a new Quad core 4G RAM PC to take away all the pain. Worth consideration as its only $700.

Well, if you haven't figured it out from that link yet, this is what you do:
(1) Go to http://www.lmgtfy.com/
(2) Type in what you want to search and click the search button
(3) The webpage will generate a URL link for you in the box below the search button. Cut and paste that URL.
Have fun.

I do have another laptop & desktop which runs on higher rams...
But I used the netbook more often on my bed always.
Will try to load the pictures on to my desktop later. LOLS
Cos its taking TOO SLOW...
And now they keep giving me this Data Execution Prevention error message which is pissing me off!!!

I'm looking at the various Adobe suites/bundles and wondering what to get. I only need image editing and video editing, nothing else.
They have a very nice bundling of Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8. But I'm looking at all the fancy features in the new Premiere Pro and PS (like content aware) and thinking that they'd be nice to play with. But there's no bundle for these 2. And buying separate is gonna cost so much more than the Elements bundle. Think I may end up with just the Elements bundle. haiz.
If you see DEP error message, you only have 2 choices... Either you turn off DEP for that new pgm, or you delete that new pgm...

But when I used the Adobe Converter for the first few times, I did not get the DEP error message.
Only after using it a few times then the error MSG keep popping up.
Btw, how to off the DEP for the new program ahs?
Can't seem to find it.

Control panel ==> System ==> Advanced ==> Performance ==> Data Execution Prevention ==> Add the new pgm that is causing DEP error msg
