hi wim,



here is an example picture of a local Acacia, this branch was blowing about in a strong wind and the only reason i didn't walk away was that i didn't have to pay for the neg, so focus could be better - but anyway the exposure/white balance appears fine to me - so -



first screen shot from C1 shows the standard RGB wfms. in which the blue channel is rather cramped to the left and in fact clipped -





the second screen shot shows my tweaked levels so that any info in blue (which is heading off stage left) is available in the output tiff -





3rd is Ps in of the colours from the 1st tiff -





4th Ps in colours of my tweaked version -





5th my reset colour levels - nice and neat and tidy and close'ish (for me) -





6th an output jpeg shows a comparison with a diagonal (topright/bottomleft)mask between both conversions (top is my adjusted colour levels which for me gives a more neutral balance in the extreme blacks which i prefer, otherwise they are close) -





so, for me this adjustment is not a difficult or slow thing to do, and i feel i could set up a standard run if needed - but it seems maybe something wrong, and both C1 and ACR show the same thing, so is it normal for raw and i shouldn't be worrying about it, or is something incorrect do you think -



if you would still like to look at this raw file for yourself i think i can put it up at the deposit files site for you, or if you have a site to upload to - just ask -



thanks,

k
