Well it may be my iPad seeing the extra warmth but the histogram shows some ‘warmth overspill’ in the mid to high tones…….  Click here to comment on this image. Backing off the warmth by 44% in this before/after split screen makes the after image less yellow on my screen at least….  Click here to comment on this image. Whacking in 70% cools things down even further…  Click here to comment on this image. That Canon RS takes a very sharp image …..as good as the Sony!!

Eric, I dont like the use of % for warmth as it is an objective measure for that image. The middle image is the most 'real' for me but that is just my personal assessment. The bottom image looks too magenta and the top/first image too warm/yellow. These are my impressions of the view on my ipad but I did the comparison on my calibrated screen on my MacPro desktop and in Photoshop 2025 (latest version through Adobe subscription).

The bottom image looks too magenta and the top/first image too warm/yellow. You are absolutely right Jonathan, I was merely using the displayed Affinity slider % reference for simplicity. The last one, which I agree is too magenta, was done to give an “ott limit”. I also forgot to point out the change in the blue curve, that demonstrates the cooling down more clearly.  I still wonder if the modelling lights contributed this extra warmth? When I was photographing footwear for catalogues I found leaving my modelling lights on always shifted the colour, especially white shoes. It wasn’t as obvious on large subjects, but with the lights in close it increased their contribution. It will be interesting to hear Grahams opinion.

Had a numptie moment today! Senior management was trying to photograph close ups of Christmas cacti with her iPhone. After assisting her with lighting I got the A1 out and went to take a photo with the macro lens, then …. I saw a large speck mid screen. I was at f22 so not surprising it showed up. Placed the camera on the table to go and get the sensor cleaning gear and dragged the camera off the table as I turned to depart. I managed to get my shoeless foot between it and the tiled kitchen floor. The little toe took the brunt and hopefully the bruising and swelling will be down soon!!! Needless to say being a man, there was little sympathy on offer….i wasn’t hopping about and howling like a little girl…honestly? Me? After the absolute unbearable agony subsided, I checked the camera….the jolt hadn’t shifted the speck. Spent a good 15 minutes using the on board speck removal routine, puffer blowing the sensor and finally cleaning it with a swab. Made no difference. Had I not seen it before the crash, I might have been more concerned. Changed the lens to see if it was a lens problem….it was. There was a pollen speck on the front glass.  Blew the glass and away the pollen went. In fairness it looked exactly like a dust bunny. But I was out of practise in these matters never having experienced the need to clean the A1 before….and also distracted by the absolute agony of a bruised little toe, you understand. I should have been more trusting of the A1’s cleanliness. Since buying the camera I have NEVER had to swab the sensor till (unnecessarily) I did today. The feature that closes the shutter blind when switching off the camera has made lens changing a much safer, cleaner operation than with all of my old Nikons. I am now down to my last sensor cleaning swab, having wasted one. Do I buy more or keep the Sony faith?

Hope your foot gets better soon and does not induce any other gouty symptoms.

You have been lucky with the A1, I’ve had to do mine a few times.

This is why I thought the portraits were too warm… The earlier portrait used in the Avatar alongside the current studio photo…  Click here to comment on this image.
