I've been having an interesting problem with my latest batch of D200 photos. I've been having some issues with the red channel since day one. I don't really know how it's been happening. I've been shooting jpg so far with the colorspace set to sRGB. In-camera processing is set to normal. The interesting thing is that the thumbnail preview in the Finder (Mac OSX) isn't blown. It just shoots the red channel right up when I open up in PS or in IView MediaPro. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
Actually sounds like an ICC profile mismatch. Just for giggles and grins try setting your color management settings to their defaults and see what happens.

As Dan mentioned .......... check your RGB histogram and also turn on the highlite function (or whatever it's called:-). Reds can be a problem for matrix metering.
I find Nikon DSLR's are prone to blowing out the red channel easily, so you must meter your highlights acurately. I also reduce contrast in camera which helps...
