I recently purchased a Panasonic G1 to have a small body to carry around. It seems really quite good. I have noticed, however, that I am getting some weird red digital artifacts in the specular highlights. I am processing my raw files in Bridge CS4. I have never seen anything like this from my Canon, Nikon, or Hasselblad gear. Is this something other people have noticed? The files seem almost equivalent to my full sensor files, other than this little issue. The problem artifacts could be cloned out with either the healing or cloning tools in photoshop but should they be there in the first place? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kirk

No, you are not. You are processing them with some version of Camera Raw 5.x. What version? The current shipping version is 5.5 (which is what you SHOULD be using) and a beta RC version 5.6 (which you might wanna try).
Also note that the red in the highlights actually sounds like you have hilight clipping turned on (see the arrows in the histogram in ACR?). You might wanna turn that off (if it's on and causing the red clipping indication).

If the red artifacts aren't the clipping warning, AND you work with a PowerPC Mac, the 5.6 release candidate version might help according to its release notes (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.6)...
