One more thing, I noticed that you are using CS3, you might want to make sure that your Camera RAW is updated to the most recent version, which I think is 5.5.

The 5.XX versions of Adobe Camera Raw are not compatible with CS3, only CS4.

Thanks Sterling! I didn't know that.

Laura, please ignore what I said.

Yeah, I did mess around with the WB. Setting it to Incandescent helped, but still gave it a pink cast. I didn't try to do a manual WB though. I wasn't too worried about it because I was shooting RAW and knew I could change it BUT it was harder to get rid of the pink than I thought it would be. Toning the pink down [in RAW editor] to be more true to color, made the other colors suffer. It was difficult to find a happy medium while still trying to maintain "actual" color. I will definitely have to spend some time with the camera to really get a feel for the WB.

Regardless of all of this, I wasn't going for an "actual color" process on the first image. Like I said, I was going for a very slight cross process look...trying to play into the pink just a hair.
