I don't understand your workflow well enough. It doesn't help that you are using antediluvian versions of software to do your work. A lot has happened in image processing over the past five years since Photoshop 7 was current. RSE is also more than two and a half years out of date.
When capturing in RAW format, color space and color temperature settings, in fact all image processing settings, on the camera mean nothing. They're set in the RAW converter. The only camera settings that affect the RAW file, other than to establish a default for the RAW processor to start with, are ISO, time, lens opening, NR on or off, and focus. Is your output 16bit or 8bit TIFF? Photoshop 7 is quite restrictive in terms of what can be done in [EMAIL PROTECTED] operations. ProPhoto RGB really requires [EMAIL PROTECTED] pixels to be used effectively, in order to characterize all the possible colors of ProPhoto RGB, and it was released after Photoshop 7 too, I believe. If you are outputting 8bit TIFFs, use Adobe RGB colorspace in the RAW converter. It will net more consistent results. Beyond that, I don't know RSE nor do I remember the foibles of Photoshop 7 well enough to debug the problem. Godfrey On Jul 9, 2008, at 5:03 PM, P. J.
