Place your mouse over the label below the image to see the color from a GretagMacbeth Color Checker chart produced using each RAW converter. In the case of the Pentax K-x we used the supplied Digital Camera Utility 4, Camera RAW 5.6 Beta and Capture One 5.0.1 The software includes a perspective correction tool that can, to a degree, simulate the effects of a shift lens.ĭigital Camera Utility 4 offers a higher degree of control over the application of noise reduction than the in-camera settings.Īs is normal in our digital SLR reviews we like to compare the supplied RAW conversion software, any optional manufacturer RAW conversion software and some third party RAW converters. In the 'Browser' view you can apply one, two or three checkmarks to images, and then run batch processes on the selected images, even if they are located in different folders. From here you've got access to all the usual image processing parameters such as white balance, noise reduction, tone curve etc. This is Digital Camera Utility 4's 'Laboratory' screen. It appears the current version of the software is not yet fully supporting the camera in this respect. Note: With the K-x Digital Camera Utility 4 shows only a very limited set of EXIF data. Most photographers, feeling strapped-for-cash after splashing out on their new DSLR won't feel the need to invest even more in a new RAW converter – Pentax's bundled software offers most, if not all, of the capabilities of 3rd-party converters. The browsing element works well too and it even comes with batch processing options. Of course you get all the usual parameters in RAW conversion but there are also more advanced tools such as the perspective correction. There is also a custom view which allows you to create your own customized screen with a combination of your most used/favorite functions.ĭigital Camera Utility 4 is based on the 3rd-party application Silkypix and as such is one of the most comprehensive bundled image software packages around. Instead of having to use different applications you can now select between the Laboratory and Browser tabs to access the tools previously associated with each package. The K-x comes with the new PENTAX Digital Camera Utility 4, which consolidates the Photo Browser and Photo Laboratory applications provided with previous Pentax DSLRs.
