Thanks for the tips. I think I'm running into the same stuff. I'm
having to turn ACR controls up or down a lot farther than what I'm used
to with digital images. It also would have been good to have a white
balance reference. Not that I want a true mid-day sunlit white balance
but some of the images are so far off in color balance it would be good
to get to a sunlit white as a base line for further adjustment.
