     Ah, now you've touched on an automatic feature of digital photography that 
we waded into some time ago, which is the feature where the camera adjusts 
itself so that it records a certain colour temperature.  Chuck finally sorted 
this one out for us.  That feature denies us the artistic ability to apply 
Wratten filters in digital B&W photography.  I can go so far as to use a #11 
green filter and see no difference in the brightness of foliage.  Instead, I 
have to take the best possible colour photo, then use FilterSin (ancient 
Win95/95 software) and a B&W film emulator to do virtual B&W photography.

     If there was some way of shutting off that internal automatic colour 
temperature correction I would do so in a heartbeat.
