EOS R6 Red Tint in Images

Appreciate any input.  I shoot mostly sports for high school teams, (not Professional).  I shoot RAW, Auto ISO, AWB & manually adjust my aperture and shutter speed.  I use DxO PhotoLab mainly for any noise reduction, export to DNG then Capture One 23 for everything else.  In my latest shoot, (and for a while now) in post, I find most of my images have an overall red tint.  I end up having to reduce the red from anywhere between -.02 & -.04 in Capture One and usually adjust the WB.  I did reach out to Canon and their suggestion made me say, hmmmm.  Basically, they wanted me to set the WB bracketing back to default, Red menu number 3.  None of my settings were anything other than default but I hit the trash can and set back to default.  I have yet to test but I wanted to reach out here and see if anyone has had this experience or has any information the would be willing to share, it would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Tom

I suggest that you also take one of your RAW images and process it in Canon DPP software. The aim is to see if the colour looks correct in DPP, even though it might not be the slickest tool to work on lots of images. Alternatively if you have a RAW file on the camera card, you can process it to make a JPG using the camera menus. 

If the colour in DPP, or the JPG created by the camera is good with no "overall red tint" then it would indicate that the tint is introduced in your current processing workflow. 

White balance processing is not baked in to RAW images, only the camera set value is saved in the metadata. DPP reads that value and uses Canon's white balance processing to determine the colour. This white balance processing is not standard, but the matter of each software's own approach to it.

let me give this a try and will update ... Thank you.

It certainly does not seem to be as pronounced.  I am playing with multiple functions in both C1 & DxO.  Not sure where this will lead but any other suggestions are appreciated ... Thank you,
