Regarding color, see http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... 2048#92048 and the immediately following reply by eurythyrea.
This shot by Adalbert seems to be suffering from the chitin-looks-too-red problem pointed out by Beatsy at http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... hp?t=37599 .

Hello Lou,
In this case the settings of the camera haven’t played any role.
This picture has been taken in the RAW format.
And my workflow looks like follows:
first the parameters are changed by LR during the conversion from RAW into the TIFF,
then by PS during the final retouching of the stack.

You still have to make a decision somewhere in the workflow about white balance. Often conversion programs have an "As shot" default, meaning that the white balance of the converted file is actually based on the selected white balance setting in the camera, though of course you can still change it later manually.
I strongly suspect that your camera is set to a white balance that is not appropriate for flash, and that your RAW converter is following that setting. If the background in the later pictures is Protostar or something similar, you can see it is too blue, as are the specular reflections.
You can check this by shooting a gray card with the same flash. If the image looks blue-gray instead of neutral gray, that's probably why.
