Digital Light & Color

I don't see anything like that in my processed Pentax RAW files (PEF nor DNG).

@Maciej: Looking at your posts you seem to struggle with chroma noise reduction. And you appear to be not satisfied with your results in PWP. Of course it is most convenient to use a single application for all editing tasks, and we all agree that PWP has an impressive toolkit, but you could try an a...

I prefer the latest version (preview window adapts to the cropped image) over the previous one.

I use a Wacom Graphire 3, but I don't experience anything of what you describe.
I had a lot of issues with the tablet/pen in relation to Windows 7 (you might remember the thread in the PW Support forum from November last year), that have been resolved. No new issues with PWP 7.

A too bright monitor will bring detail in the shadows even when you process the images too dark. Try setting up your monitor in a dimly lit environment. Change, if necessary, t...
