In the old days of film different films recorded colors differently, there is no hard and fast "This is the right color" it all depends on the method by which it was recorded. Does no one remember how incredibly BLUE the old ektachrome was? Or how people got pissed when Fuji shifted the color balance on the old 100D film to be less warm? In looking at those photos the pants have a slightly different hue, but so does the shirt and he grass and in the Nikon shot the shirt is much uglier than the M8 shot and the grass less green and skin tones more yellowish in the Nikon shot. I think it would be very hard to comment on how bad this issue is unless you were the photographer and know what the colors are supposed to be. In any event looking at these samples it is not something that would drive me totally nuts. -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://web.mac.com/whmcclary/iWeb/tobacco-road/Blog/Blog.html
