Well, frankly, I'm going to have a hard time giving up Elements 9, now that I've installed it.

Hoo, boy.  Pretty nifty.

Sorry but PS7 is not capable of being used with any version of ACR

are easy to mistake as saying the opposite.

I don't use much other than Lr3 these days, but if you are seriously
strapped for cash, dcraw is free, open source and works well.

Later in the thread (http://photo.net/digital-darkroom-forum/00WXvS?start=10), though, 
they mention that the converter is "super crude" -- whatever that means.

Idunno.  I'm in the process of downloading a trial version of Elements 9 and will 
tinker around with it for 30 days, or so.  If I like it and have the extra cash to 
spend on it, I'll go ahead and register it.  If not, I'll use a freeware, or 
cheap&  dirty alternative.

     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?



There's something very wrong here.

I bought Photoshop 7 and installed it on my laptop while I was in Iraq, and I 
know that I downloaded the free stand-alone DNG converter when Adobe announced 
it and used it with Photoshop 7.

Prior to getting Photoshop 7 and installing the stand-alone DNG converter, I 
was using the Pentax software that came with the *ist-D.

I probably didn't shoot more than a half dozen raw images with the *ist-D while I 
was deployed (shot mostly TIFF&  JPEG) so I'm pretty hazy about how i used the 
DNG converter, but I remember it being announced.

I remember downloading and installing it and giving it a try.
