Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking, or seeing, when I processed these pics. I know put saturation back to 0 (I was desaturating to improve color - this was the wrong approach) and set camera calibration to "Faithful". This made a world of difference. Used LightRoom 4 and shot RAW.

Moral of this story, is beware dealer's digital cameras... few really understand that what comes out of a digital camera, even the real expensive ones, is not accuracy but "pop". Google "Porsche Ruby Red" images and compare what you find with what I just published...... the web pics are bright red while mine are now more subdued and have that rust tone.

My other hobby is photography hence my embarrassment about the incorrect color - I even have a calibrated monitor. Check out my blog for amateur photographers here: [url=http://www.TravelThroughPictures.com]My Photo Blog[/url]
