[HDR-photo] color casts

[John Solum]

Thanks for your response. The white balance is set on daylight or cloudy 
depending on the light. I do not see the color cast in adobe camera raw but 
only after merging 5-7 shots in photomatix and then
tonemapping the image. I am assuming it is introduced while tonemapping. I 
never use auto white balance except under mixed lighting situations and then 
only rarely. The tone mapped image is highly
saturated even when backing off the saturation slider. I am desaturating 
parts of the image in photoshop in order to make the color more realistic, 
but mainly I am plagued with a consistent blue cast in my landscapes. My 
interior shots have more realistic color and have been quite spectacular 
without any supplemental flash. So far this seems to be the strenght of this 
software from my perspective. I am a new user of this software and have just 
joined this forum, so while I am an experienced digital photogropher I have 
a lot to learn about this software. I am very excited about its 
possibilities.
