Re: What is "Foveon Blue"?

PicOne, no colormodes are available with the older cameras. Definitely not the SD9 and SD10. I just checked some old DP1 and DP2 X3F RAWs. No colormodes on the original DP1, but yes for the original DP2. So that seems to be the camera for which they were introduced. The DP1 and DP2 came after the SD14, so I assume no colormodes for SD14, but I have no RAWs to check on this computer. Yes for SD15 and all the Merrill cameras. For my cameras, the order of release is
SD9
SD10
SD14
DP1
DP2
SD15
DP2Merrill
One can fill in the s, x, SD1, other Merrill releases (those cameras I don't have). So again, colormodes seem to begin with the original DP2. FWIW I tend to use standard and landscape primarily, neutral sometimes and vivid occasionally. I haven't tried Foveon Blue often.

Best regards, Sandy
