Chris,

Thanks for all your postings on this subject. I've downloaded all the ISO 1600 files, and note that they are 10.3 Mb in size - so they must have been reduced from the originals (in Lightroom?). Were the originals made in compressed or uncompressed mode?

Opening only the 1/90 sec. AWB image in Capture One 4.8.3, the profile defaults to "DNG neutral". I saved this as a TIFF file, and then used C1's "M9" profile. The M9 profile produces some color shift, but also seems to introduce considerable noise (sharpening disabled, all noise sliders set to "0"). Anyone else tried this? Same or different results?

They were compressed - I was working on the advice that for high ISO it didn't matter noise wise. re further compression - I've set my default import in LR to "Convert to DNG" - makes things easier to handle as the file numbers rack up...

Not played with this - I suppose I'm investing in trying to get the one RAW converter working as life's short.

Update. When opening the TIFF files in Photoshop (CS4 Demo), just the opposite happens: the M9 profile image has a more neutral color balance, and much less noise. Now I'm really puzzled.
