hm. that looks reasonable. very surprising that those green pixels still
stay in the color buffer. maybe the profiling doesn't match your particular
camera model? maybe the profile was a little off for that particular iso
value, or maybe there is some variance between individual sensors for sony
cams?

i can try and re-profile that particular raw and see if there are any
differences to the data we have if you want.
