Re: What is "Foveon Blue"?

Hi john:

Yes I associate the Foveon Blue with the SD10 as the SD9 often had what you mentioned - the magenta cast.  I also think that the SD15 came close to that blue.  The bottom line, IMHO, is that through the years, the color has become more accurate but often requires work, and often a lot of work, to recreate the pop of the SD9 and SD10.  I can't think of how to define "POP".  It is not just saturation and it is not just contrast.  Or else it would be easy to recreate.  Perhaps tones?
