Re: PESO - NorCal First Pic

i've shot Gretag Macbeth Color Checker and used IMATEST to measure color 
accuracy with default conversion settings. all of the shots i did were 
outdoors in sunlight with AWB. in all cases, the AWB conversion from 
Photoshop CS were significantly more accurate than the Photo Laboratory 
conversions. delta E values from CS were almost half of what Photo 
Laboratory produced.

I've found that the much-maligned Pentax Photo Laboratory can often
do a better job with red tones than other RAW converters manage.
In this shot of mine from the recent PDML trip, for example
   <http://jfwaf.com/PDML/images/PDML06.jpg>
the colour of the red base varies dramatically between converters,
with the colour produced by Photo Laboratory being much closer to
the colour I remember.  (That's what I used for this example).
