This idea is not new. I found it first time reading Polish language forum for Pentax users. We can choose every week one RAW file and mfl forum members will try to make the best version of those file. Then everybody can write a critiques with explanation: why.
The same is possible to make with converting color photos to BW. I think about 2 separate treads, here, with some rules - that all kind of software are allowed, final files suppose to be no wider/higher then 700pix (whatever is bigger), maximum 250Mb, week starts Monday, ends Sunday. Source file could be taken with film or digital but with manual lens only

If you can open a PS .psd file I can forward them on to you.

Olivier, file with RAWs are packed. Just download and unpack. If you can not open unpacked file - download and install Faststone viewer, it is free. Open RAW with faststone, convert to tiff, and go ahead.

Thank you Farside.
I use Paintshop pro so it could work, but i'll do what Voitek advices as this is the pentax raw file that I can't open.

Thanks Voitek.
I'll download fastone viewer and convert it to tiff.
