While we are on the subject and as a matter of interest, would a Pentax dedicated flash work ok on a Samsung and visa versa :.
Cheers.

Hmmm... I 'phoned and got offered £80 - £90 for the GX-10 depending on condition and if all cables, etc. are available.
So IMHO a trade-in isn't really worthwhile.
If I was buying new, however, £399 with kit lens is amazing value.
I agree with Mike-p, Ebay is the place. My son bought one off there about September time, paid about 280 for the twin lens kit. yours will sell no problem.Hmmm... I 'phoned and got offered £80 - £90 for the GX-10 depending on condition and if all cables, etc. are available.

I don't see any colour cast down both sides, by eye I see a slight green tinge on lhs and slight pink tinge on rhs and about even in middle. (NB awaiting huey replacement!)
RGB values are
topleft: 130/128/139; topright 141/139/153
botleft: 81/81/85; botright 82/78/88
suggests too much blue in the white balance to me, the histogram looks like blue channel is shifted to the right a bit.
silkypix greypt tool gives ~7000 for lopleft, 7300 for topright and 7132 in topmiddle (and corrects the blue shift in WB in all cases) which suggests slight range in WB across the scene to me.
solution ? set the WB to area near the topmiddle and then poss a gradient colour shift via photoshop, but I'm at beginner level in elements so don't know how, I've concentrated on trying to learn as much as poss about RAW conversion stage.
FWIW your later post (20.17) looks similar to me wrt colour 'shift'
hope this helps
Thanks bladerunneruk, I think I've got my head around what your telling me, as I am very new to digital photography as well. Im trying to learn about layers at the moment. All interesting stuff.[quote:3496ace15f="GX10Cliff"]

Thanks womble, thought I was going funny for a while there . There was no artificial or ambient light from the sides at all, I thought it could be due to under exposure along with the high iso setting that was used, but that's just a guess .
Cheers .

Sorry to take so long to reply, been doing visiting the relatives thing.
Scott, I don't have another monitor I'm afraid, I`ll pay a visit to a friend next week, he has a crt and should be interesting to compare.
Anvh, Thanks for helping and going to the trouble of printing, your results are interesting and helpful. I have looked at my prints in daylight and tungsten light, and I can see a slight cast, but not nearly as bad as on my monitor.
Going out this morning to take some test shot using different lenses just so I can compare. Just as a thought, could a very high iso setting and the fact that it was foggy lead to a colour cast:
Thanks all for helping here, your comments are most appreciated
