Hey there,

at high ISO settings (>1600) LR 4.4 starts to render my RAW files with a nasty reddish cast.

Maybe you want to take a look at

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ev8ijqgl2e37t92/eLuS1yDKqv...

... here are the RAW files, OOC JPEGs, and also DPP renderings.

Anyone knows a solution?

Adjusting white balance or other "tricks" don't seem to work well.

Regards!

With both ISOs  the red channel is enhanced if you look at the histogram.

In any case, a major issue are the light sources. Some street lamps have a rather limited spectrum, and it's virtually impossible to correct that to neutral.
