Does PureRaw correct lens color cast?

Hi. I noticed that pictures that come out of PR usually have a slight change in color tint. On my Tamron 28-75 G2, they usually are a bit cooler than the original, also the tint is a bit towards green.

Does PR apply some kind of color cast correction to compensate for the color transmission of a particular lens? Or is this just a processing bug?

If this is a deliberate shift in colors, shouldn’t it also update the whitepoint of the picture, since the camera measured the white point WITH the lens’es color cast.

What “original”? If you mean what you see on the back of the camera, that is a JPEG processed by the camera, whereas the RAW file that you submit to PureRAW will be converted by PureRAW, which could quite conceivably produce different results.

I meant the original RAW file viewed in Lightroom vs the PR processed DNG file viewed in Lightroom with the same color profile.

You will always have some differences, in different software, due to different RAW engines.

Don’t forget, WB is only recorded in the EXIF and not applied to a RAW file
