Moreover the updater was non-functional (see above). 2) Pentax shipped a CD with with the K1 with a version of Pentax DCU that was non-functional for SuperRes mode.
PENTAX DIGITAL CAMERA UTILITY 5 TRANSFER SOFTWARE
* A summary of a grossly unreasonable approach to raw processing: 1) the program itself is very badly done in overall GUI, layout, appearance, spelling errors, non-functional software updater, and so on. And to top it off, the detail on my mosaic image with maximum sharpening is a blurry mess compared to what ACR can do. Pentax Digital Camera Utility is an unusable steaming pile of dung*. Doing stuff suddenly moves controls from screen to screen, the image jumps around and is drawn half off the screen (I guess it doesn’t like a dual-display system?).
PENTAX DIGITAL CAMERA UTILITY 5 TRANSFER PRO
Unusable on the fastest Mac you can have (8 core 3.3 GHz Mac Pro with 64GB and D700 GPUs). Well, even slower with multi-second rainbow beachballs every few seconds. The external drive is not affected, but a fresh copy of Pentax Digital Camera Utility is installed into the Applications folder.
Did the install, changed the USB drive back to its original name, double-clicked the DCU icon, et voila! - a fully functional RAW convertor for my new K-1, nearly as slow as Sigma's.ĭIGLLOYD: well now, why didn’t I think of that? Thanks Jay! It works. I had to use this workaround as my MBP has no optical drive.

If you rename an ext USB drive to S-SW160, the DCU 5.5.1.2 updater will install a full DCU app with no previous installations required. Pentax Digital Camera Utility 5.5.0 ships with the Pentax K1 on CD Jay S writes:
PENTAX DIGITAL CAMERA UTILITY 5 TRANSFER PROFESSIONAL
Actually, no professional can afford to-putting jobs on the line for slipshod vendor software support.Ĭannot to find old version that is valid target of upgrading. As a professional, I do not want to work with this dreck. Note the “$19.95 weekend special” English translation, typical of the SilkyPix interface quality-this kind of sloppy work not inspire confidence (it’s insane-can’t they hire someone for a few hours to proof it?). I cannot try version 5.5.1 of Pentax DCU, because the Pentax updater to version 5.5.1 does not work on either my Mac Pro or on my iMac 5K. However, ACR does not support Motion Correction and Pentax DCU does (or might, it’s not clear as yet if it does so or just extracts 1 of 4 frames). Pentax DCU 5.5.0 (the version shipped with the K1) delivers a soft image not even in the same ballpark, totally lacking in the fine detail and micro contrast that ACR is able to extract. I did try Pentax DCU on one of my mosaic SuperRes pixel shift mode images (from which ACR delivers the best sharpness I have ever seen from a DSLR on that subject). The same situation holds ( almost) for Sigma/Foveon sensors, and Sigma Photo Professional is a major drawback that always costs me a great deal of extra (wasted) time when reviewing Sigma cameras. For starters, I do not want to establish an entirely new workflow apart from from Photoshop/ACR, not for one camera. It may prove acceptable or unacceptable-I have my own workflow and other requirements, but mine ain’t yours. My recommendation to Pentax K1 or K3 II users working with SuperRes pixel shift mode is to try Pentax Digital Camera Utility. Pentax Digital Camera Utility 5.5.0 ships with the Pentax K1 on CD
Which after all is one of the main points of SuperRes mode (fine details). I worked with it for some Fujifilm X-Pro2 files and had exactly the same impressions-overall very good image quality, but lacking in fine detail rendition (probably sharpening algorithms). However, Pentax DCU (SilkyPix) does an excellent job emphasizing coarse and medium structures (though not fine details), and color rendition is very nice too. Pentax DCU is a variant of SilkyPix, which if it does not get the gold medal for worst raw conversion software interface ever, comes in a close second, just behind Sigma Photo Professional. Pentax ships Digital Camera Utility version 5.5.0 on CD with the K1. Some readers have suggest using Pentax Digital Camera Utility for Pentax K1 SuperRes pixel shift mode with Motion Correction see my previous analysis of Motion Correction with Adobe Camera Raw and Pentax Digital Camera Utility raw converters.
