I was at a Memorial Day event and encountered a problem I have never had before. I was shooting with a Canon EOS 6D Mark ll, and a 70-200 L 2.8 lens without a filter on it. F stops between 3.2 and 8. The day was rather overcast, but it also at times had a decent amount of sun. However, it was not a real dark day. When I got home and downloaded the images I noticed a color shift to the red on skin. All other colors seemed to be fine. I have never had this problem before. On a 7d Mark ll I used a Tamron 24-70 2.8, sometimes will fill flash, same conditions of course and did not have a severe a problem. Any idea what could have caused that shift?

First sentence - "without a filter"

Could Auto White Balance have selected "Cloudy" and remained set there? This would give you a warm red/orange color shift.

Why start a guess game? Assuming you desire some actual help rather than simple amusement, post and store an example.

Two thoughts:

1) Look at your process flow between Camera RAW, Photoshop and the colorspace when outputting the edited results to a JPEG. The skin color is different in a edit tool that recognizes your uncalibrated JPEG.

2) Return to your camera and post an original JPEG from the camera if you captured both. Adobe has stripped all the relevant EOS data. If needed, you can use DPPv4 to export a JPEG with the data from the CR2.

The 6D only offers 2 color space choices: sRGB and Adobe RGB. The attached photo was taken in Adobe RGB both in camera and in RAW. In this photo, a little fill flash was used. I don't know if the slight red was natural to these kids or if somehow I screwed up and did it.

Different camera, different lens, different metering mode, different lighting including use of fill flash. Still colorspace uncalibrated after photographer's editing. If you want to investigate issues with the camera, you need to present original images from the camera. These example images after your edit process would point to opportunities within your edit workflow.

I don't understand what you mean by uncalibrated colorspace??

See my post on page 1 of this discussion: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-593666-1.html , particularly how to assure you maintain your colorspace during editing and adjust the colorspace when creating your JPEGs.

The two men are somewhat ruddy faced, but the woman is not. So maybe the men are wearing their natural face colors and you made no mistake.
