I believe the B&W option in the KR and all other Pentax cameras only relates to jpegs that the camera generates from RAW. All RAW DNG files should be output in native color on a RAW converter, such as ACR. I don't know what Faststone is. In any case, the B&W conversion capability of ACR is far superior to what the camera can generate. You'd be better off doing your VW work as part of the RAW conversion. ACR will let you determine the converted grayscale value of each color, independent of the others. It's a huge advantage. Paul On Feb 27, 2011, at 8:57 AM, Jeffery Johnson wrote:
