Hi Bill,

I did some test with Raw and the Dimage 7 and the R72 and wow...it is possible to actualy separate the color pretty well, at least for that photo it was:

I used the adobe raw plugin and use the custom white balance. adjusted the temperature and tint and saturation etc... and then with Photoshop auto-color it turned that way. I did not do any manual tinting on this image.
