Chris,

I saw the photos, and they are very good.  They all seem to have a WARM 
cast. Could it be a lack of color correction? Is a
white calibration possible with JPEG or is only Auto WB?

Of course the customer/photographer might have wanted that warm look.

I have done a large amount of color correction over the years, using 
sets of CC filters for Kodachrome und Ektachrome.  My
white balance was with a color temperature meter and a white card!
