[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 231903, member: 9240"] I like what you tried to do with the colors, making them pop. Unfortunately, in bringing out the yellow in the package you also overcooked the dirt. This is one of those times where the subject matter requires you to do some selective editing and not just play with the universal settings. If you're using Lightroom you can use the brush tool to either adjust the package and candies, or to tame the background after the universal edits. In Photoshop you can use layer masks to selectively adjust or reduce the opacity of edits on the background. I used control points in Viveza to simply desaturate, which makes the focal points pop a little more.
