Could be - depends on how much of each frame was in shade or sunlight. I noticed the same thing once when photographing my friend's cats. Although the light didn't change, depending on where in the room they were, the results changed a bit. You might try auto white balance and see if that helps, but mixed light can sometimes be tricky.
Moving the color temp slider can often help quite a bit, but sometimes you've got to go further, even outside ACR.

It doesn't seem to be very consistent though. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
