![]() ![]() I am not claiming to be able to offer full guidance on every aspect of the program – either because I myself don’t have particular experience at that type of adjustment or because I choose to do something in a different program, in which case I am sure that some background reading and experimentation with the software will prove valuable.Īs this is meant to encourage a practical approach, if you are trying out any of the editing techniques for the first time it is a great idea to have a shot open and work on it as you go and see the effect I am describing right in front of you. Other more experienced photographers may just want some quick tips on getting the most out of the Pentax software, and need to know how to efficiently apply some key image adjustments, in which case they could refer to Part 2, covering workflow and functionality, and take some useful ideas from that. These people could read Part 1 for some helpful information which should set them up ready to start RAW processing. It should be useful to those new to Pentax DSLRs and the RAW format in general, as well as those opening their new camera box and finding the software disc, who may not have any other RAW software ready to go. This mini guide is intended to serve a wide range of purposes. Prepared by Pentax shooter N McGregor, November 2012 Pentax Camera Utility (PDCU), A Mini Guide some In-Practice thoughts & a workflow solution Of course, I should say that this is entirely my own personal experience of the software, and only my own personal opinions. A later version may be better in the Articles section. I am starting it as a thread as it is a work in progress, & I will gladly update it to take account of any new info offered. I recommend it as a therapy to all! So here is my Mini Guide for all to peruse, and of course comment, dabate, correct and add to. Its kind of therapeutic, and helps to cement your working principals in your mind I find. I've enjoyed using the program, and now I've really enjoyed writing about how I edit RAW in PDCU4. I am aware, both from this forum and the US one that there are plenty of Pentax shooters who would like to get more out of the software that comes in the box. A labour of love, or obession You can decide! As promised, here is my Mini Guide to PDCU4, something I hope will be of practical use to new photographers and some more experienced shooters alike. ![]()
