I'm not being sarcastic. I didn't see the RAW images. If they were underexposed as badly as the jpegs, I wouldn't be surprised to see color appearing on white. I'm sorry if I wasn't helpful. You may have a problem. But as I said, it would be easier to tell with correct exposures and a normal range of tones. Your examples caused my scepticism. Sorry if I offended you. You may have a problem. Let's see some more examples. It's certainly not normal for the camera to produce color bands under standard or even somewhat extreme conditions. Can you shot a color scale card and a gray scale card in open shade? That could be revealing. You might also shoot something of a general neutral tone -- something close to medium gray or light brown-- in even light. Paul On Jan 30, 2007, at 9:32 PM, David Weiss wrote:
