That's not the 1997 SE, it's the 2004 SE.

Anyway, the problem with auto-correction plugins (I bet that's what WhiteMagic is?) is that it doesn't know what's right or wrong, it just analyzes each frame and tries to balance it. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it doesn't.

In the 3PO/R2 shot it looks good, since that shot has got clean black and white points which the plugin can use for it's balance. In the other two there's more reds, leading the plugin to think it should tint it more towards cyan.
