Adam, I’ve been saying for many weeks now that REC709 color matrixing does not look right in any of the Red apps or quicktime translation. I exclusively use Camera RGB or Redspace. I then tweak saturation and color balance to achieve a natural looking skin tone.

Very detail article. Since this was posted, what would you recommend now?

This test was done in 2008 with build 16; it’s now 2010 and we’re up to build 30, which has radically improved the situation. The new REDcolor color space is far more accurate and naturalistic than the earlier color spaces in older firmware, and the new Mysterium-X sensor appears to use different color filtering with improved discrimination (I’m testing this right now and will be posting my findings soon), which makes things even better.

Short (and free) answer: update to build 30. Longer (and more expensive) answer: upgrade to the M-X sensor.
