Same results here. Dxo renders it a bit too much on the blue side.

It has to do with the way I adjusted it as Pete said. I will give it another try.

LOL That is not my sparrow. I know shat you are saying. It is confusing at first. I do like all the auto settings. I could not find any good tutorials on line. I will give it another try and see how it works. It makes a duplicate file unlike Camera RAW. I heard the newer one does HDR and has better noise reduction....

I think each new iteration of a Program does something new and hopefully improves on the previous version which reinforces my earlier point.

Steve and Darin point out that your DxO version was a bit Blue and you're right Frank, it's not down to DxO.
Personally, I think DxO does a pretty good job, although I'm sure that some other Progs do a good job too.
I don't know what Darin and Steve are using.
Steve also makes a good point with the Screen Spyder. If your screen is displaying the wrong colours you are fighting a losing battle and what we then see may not be what you intended. Hope that makes sense!

This is a Robin I snapped earlier today.

I should have said that your Web Browser should be "colour managed" as well.
Otherwise images may not display as intended.

I will check that out. The Female cardinal was shot at 600mm and cropped.

Thanks

I have the DxO Pro 6 Elite. I will give it a try. You cannot export to PS. I will post some edits with it.

Correct DxO doesn't export to PS, you need to process to a 16-bit TIFF file.
Any changes are saves in an *.dxo sidecar file leaving the RAW file untouched. The general preferences allows you to do this automatically and also automatically load your previous changes (*.dxo file) when you reopen a file.

In the "Customise" section under >COLOR >Color Rendering, you can choose Camera Body and Sony A100.

I did set the camera profile. I will give it another try.

Thanks again
