First off, AFAIK these images were fine when they were first stitched together. It wasnt until near the end of my contract that I noticed the quality seems to have taken a dive. I have a feeling that its adobe bridge automatically adjusting the images, as I think some of the ones effected were made in hugin whilst others were made in photoshop. Problem with my Adobe bridge theory is that everything Ive looked at on the net says that when bridge changes a thumnail preview its just reading the data, with the first preview being what is stored as the preview from the camera or something (shouldnt apply given these images were made on the computer).

The images are linked as theyre the full size (2-3mb each)

At first glance this one doesnt seem too bad. But note the heather flowers closest to the camera, and the tips of the tree saplings. Theyre almost fluoerscent, as if the colour range has been limited?

Same kind of thing except its just the clouds top left, which seem to be pink?

Gorse and bracken seem to be affected a lot with the colour depth being pretty bizarre with a couple of shades and then shadow. (ignore the crap blurryness, hopefully you can see what I mean)

Not all of them seem to be affected. Maybe 1/4-1/3 of them?!

Gah, it appears to not just be limited to the stitched photos:

It looks like Im going to have to browse through the images, finding the ones that look a little off, and hopefully finding the original photos and re-doing them, like this one:

http://zpyder.co.uk/forums/7142A_85528557x.jpg (Its the first one from the first post, re-done and with normal colours)

Im struggling to see too much of a problem with most of these, except the obvious one in http://zpyder.co.uk/forums/7704A1_19751980.jpg where the highlights of the image (due to the light in the cloud) are overexposed and your software somehow interprets this as needing a colour change.

Same image, second one has been fixed. If you focus on the group of young pine saplings in the lower centre hopefully its a bit more obvious. I admit when you look at the image on the whole they dont look *too* bad, but these photos are fixed point photos intended on being a record of the habitat in years to come on the day the photo was taken. Having the heather appearing to be more in flower with the brighter pinks etc could be misleading.

I only ended up re-doing a dozen or so files, half of which appeared to just have had more shadows added.

Yeah I see what you mean now; youve got radioactive pines. :/

you havent done anything which involves switching colour spaces have you? they look as if the software is trying to record a colour which is out of gamut for the colour space in use. Another possible is highlight recovery, Ive seen software attempt to recover a blown channel from the other two and end up with similar effects to this before now.
