I run a Pentax *istDS SLR with Gimp. The .pef (raw format) files open perfectly with the tools available. And ofcourse .jpeg's are of no concern as its supported as a "standard". The SD-cards mount without problems via a small USB reader. (I have not tried downloading directly from the camera into my computer.) -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
