I'd been diligently processing my Pentax DNGs in Lightroom. So when I treated myself to a Pentax K-3 a few months ago I noticed a raw editor now called "Ricoh Camera Utility 5 powered by SilkyPix" (hereafter DCU5), was thrown in. So my move to Lightroom was reluctant but a prudent move, in retrospect. It attracts a passion among its users somewhat like Pentax owners. LightZone has a cult following mainly because it emulates what I used to do in a darkroom back when I printed from my Pentax H2 (c 1960). I moved across to LightZone (now open source) but eventually adopted Lightroom when LightZone’s commercial development ceased in 2011. But its user interface and workflow proved tough for me. Few RAW editors could load PEF files at the time. I played with what was formerly known as SilkyPix, as it was thrown in with my then Pentax K110D over ten years ago.
