Asked: X Pentax K-3 Profile

Alexei T. : "Yes, you did. Thank you, Ken!I just wish that you will add some more profiles into your K-3 profile bundle in the future.I think that your current profile is Dual-Illuminant profile that you created with ColorChecker. I suppose that this profile is good in general use but is still not very presice in difficult lighting conditions." Yes I do use Color Checker to create profile for every single different commercial photograph. This is a must for every professional photographer. Actually everyone who own a Color Checker can create a profile for himself. I usually create a general profile for my casual shoots, like my daily photo & street shoot. Since K-3 now offer the best AWB (Multi AWB), I will use it and it's M-AB more for my casual shooting. And that is why the X Pentax K-3 Profiles Pack created. I use self create camera profile for different camera since 2004, and I understand that there is many shots you actually cannot shoot a CC in advance.

Lightroom 5.3 Not Fully Working With Pentax K-3 Pef / DNG Raw File

Just a simple test, set the WB of Pentax K-3 camera to manual 5000k, and after import into lightroom... you will see it shifted to 5800k.

Asked: Is Lightroom 5.3 Support Pentax K-3 RAW?

Kenneth C. Ask: Is Lightroom 5.3 Support Pentax K-3 RAW? Yes partial... Lightroom 5.3 can now import and render both PEF & DNG files from the K-3, but seems the M-AWB still a-bit off and purple fringing handling is not as close as DCU5.
