[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 119461, member: 9240"] Don't underestimate the effect of an uncalibrated monitor. I just looked at your photo on 4 different monitors (Mac, Dell Laptop, 20" Acer monitor, 24" HP Monitor) and got 4 VERY different looks on the red. Would help if we had some EXIF information on the photo as well. There are lots of factors that can impact these things. Would also be good to see an unmodified jpeg taken straight from RAW file of the problem shots to get a feeling of what you're dealing with. Also get used to using the color-specific saturation and luminoscity tools in Lightroom. Click on the eye dropper, click and hold on the blown out color and drag up and down to increase/decrease the saturation or luminoscity of that specific color (it may move a pair of sliders if it's not pure). Very quick and easy way of re-establishing balance to the photo. [/QUOTE]
