Well, that’s ONE way to fix a blown red channel

I’ve talked before about the creative possibilities of extreme white balance adjustments, and how the grey point controls on Nikon’s Capture NX2 provide the most extreme, high-quality control I’ve seen.

Well, I meant it.

Particularly interesting is how all of that hard-to-retain red-channel on a red flower in hard sun came back and the textures are realistic even if the color is very much not.

no, I kid, thats very cool! I hate how my reds always look blown out.

Chris Fam - for me, I normally use slider to adjust the luminance of Reds in the Camera Raw control in Photoshop, it reveals more tonal range of the red object. Works for me.
