    K. I just got my hands on my da's pentax somethingy and I have the image quality set on 6mp and raw.... Now when I load this images to my pc they come up as PEF files and won't open with anything.

    When I change the quality to 3 star the pics come up as jpegs.

    Why is this? Does this mean the pef files are useless? I've tried some converter yoke. No luck.

    Advice?

    xoxo >_<

    You should have got a cd with the camera with conversion software on it.
    The files are not useless! Don't be tempted to bin em just yet. If you have Photoshop CS 2 in your posession the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in that ships with it may be able to convert them too.
    What model is the camera? The pef files will vary from camera to camera so you may need to update any software that came with the camera.

    i think rawshooter would work as well for conversion from raw to jpg or tiff

    Its free but you'll need a speedy connection to download it
