Re: What is "Foveon Blue"?

For PicOne, the SD10 can do the "Foveon Blue" too, for example http://www.pbase.com/sandyfleischman/image/34322272

I had many 'intense' blue skies with the SD10, even in Washington, DC light. Out west, skies could be spectacularly blue... without a polarizer! First, I recall many people complained that those skies weren't 'real' then when the SD14 came out and the skies toned down, people complained that the skies weren't blue enough LOL. The "Foveon Blue" setting is something recent in SPP which may (or may not) emulate that intense blue.

One of the classic "Foveon Blue" shots for me is this early SD9 photo
