    Landscape sky issue

    My image example comes out right from z6ii (jpeg) with standard color profile, no pp. Your test image looks all-natural to me on my monitor screen. BF could be right about the color profile issue.

    Landscape sky issue

    Maybe, but it seems there are rare others' (including my) images I see on my monitor screen having the similar color cast. For example, (if you think my example's color looks off, let me check what's wrong.)

    Landscape sky issue

    I am not sure if this problem is due to only my (computer) screen: all your posted images including Fred's sky replacement show a much unnature sky color (like painting greenish). Maybe it's just post-processed color?

    Focus shifting (landscape)

    Did another try: # shots=100, FSW=6, Interval=0. Actual shots=56 (FL=600mm, iso=640, f/9.5, speed=1/125") After stacking, realized have made a mistake: focusing the first spot on the bottom of the chimney! (thinking the closest point) From the images below, there are big power post and tree...
