Ken,
I'm not sure what bearing this has on your last comment about RAW
converters, but I will offer it anyway. I have never loaded Olympus
software on my computer. I shoot RAW, and rely on the ACR converter
contained in Elements 6.0 to do the conversion. With the E-1, I had no real
trouble with purples, but, using the same program with the E-510, I do
recall purple flowers showing up as blue, no matter what I tried to do to
correct it.
