I am just wondering how a bayer sensor can accuratly see yellow, magenta, and cyan if the filters only let through red, blue, and green.
I am sure there is some overlap in the response of the pixels but I don't see how it's possible a bayer type sensor to accurately measure these colors.
The foveon chip does not filter out any of the photons so they will all contribute to the luminance output and the number stopping at each layer determine the color. I think this is why the pictures look like Kodachrome slides.
The first thing I noticed when using the SD14 is that pictures of my lawn showed yellowish grass in some areas while my Olympus made all the grass the same color green. I went outside to look at the lawn and sure enough there was yellowish grass. Also, my Olympus and Fuji cameras never get flesh tones right . The yellow component of the skin seems to be replaced with an orange red funk that you just sort of get used to and start to think people really look that way.
