Thanks! Although, to my infinite consternation, I've discovered
there's no way to get Photoshop 7 to handle DNG files, and I can't
afford to plunk down the requisite cash for any of the more recent Adobo
releases. They're a tad spendy.
Picasa 3 will handle them, of course, but then I'm stuck with some
pretty limited options with regard to editing. I suppose I could use
Picasa to export them in .jpg format, but I wonder how much I'll be
giving up by using it to do the conversion.
Any (extremely affordable) suggestions?

Well, y'all finally shamed me into shooting in DNG. Up until now,
I've been
shooting almost exclusively in JPG. The few raw shots I have taken were
throw-away shots I simply discarded out of hand. But, tonight, I decided
to
check try out the DNG + JPG function while taking shots of the family
Thanksgiving feast.
You see, quite a few of the reviews I read before buying my K-x lauded its
jpeg engine, stating that you don't really give up much at all by using it
instead of RAW. So, in the interest of conserving relatively scarce
storage
space and computer resources, I never really bothered.
Well, I'm here to say -- and feel free to pass this along to anyone who
ever
wrote a review of the K-x making that claim -- that they're huge liars
(I'm
looking at YOU dpreview!). I'm quite simply astonished at the difference,
and kicking myself over the fact that it took me over
7000 clicks to realize it. Of those 7000 shots, I shudder to think how
many
were deleted that could have easily been salvaged.
Ah, well ... live and learn. But, damn ... so many shots. (sob)
