A treat for EX1 owners.

Most here know I have spent a lot of time experimenting with my EX1 to try to get the best OOC jpg image possible.  Recently I made a discovery that allowed more than one mode at a time to be switched on in the menu, that procedure can be found here:

I had been experimenting with high saturation, but that always ends up with some unnatural looking image from time to time.

Today I tried increasing contrast.  I have tried it once before but it tends to increase green a bit so not having access to other menu items at that time I tried to use an adjusted daylight WB to fix it, but that also was all over the place with WB.

But today I was able to use the RGB adjustment in the photo style selector to correct the WB, using R=0, G=-1, B=0 in that setting.  Once this is set, it can be chosen at the same time as contrast +1 in the Image Adjust menu using the procedure described in the link above.

The benefit is that AUTO WB can be used and there is no colour cast.

Here is four OOC images only reduced and sharpened.

No I don't have any mist or fog here, only super bright sunny days with super bright clouds, with super high temperature and super high humidity, not ideal I know.

Nothing special about these, they are just to demonstrate the setting, what do you think of them.
