Thanks very much CosbyArt!
How interesting that you should mention the color cast issue just now! I've always struggled with color, but even as we speak I am exchanging info and experience on the issue with Precarious who is, as he has said himself, especially sensitive to color cast in images. So I'd like to believe that with his help I'm finally getting a grip on color.
I've also been getting better WB in my RAW images since I've begun calibrating my camera with a WhiBal card. And lastly I've begun using Photo Ninja for RAW conversion. It's fairly young and has its problems, but its control over lighting ... exposure adjustment and tonal mapping ... is superb IMO. My old RAW converter, CaptureNX2, would invariably cause color casts when attempting to recover images which had been underexposed by more than a stop or so. Photo Ninja's ability to resurrect strongly underexposed images is a godsend to me, as I use a studio strobe (so no iTTL) and in zooming magnifications in and out as frequently as I do I don't generally take the time, especially when working with skittish (and often quite venomous) Ts, to adjust the exposure completely for each shot.
