[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 458494, member: 23887"] I agree, Paul, it is probably a tad oversaturated. I was trying to match the Windows standard wallpaper and probably overdid a little. But the main issue is the white balance, or more specifically the colour temperature. The two approaches give very different grass and I'm not sure which is better, or more "natural". I just remembered that the Windows wallpaper was taken on Velvia and allegedly not retouched in post processing. Velvia gives very saturated colours (I know very well as I had taken thousands of pictures on Velvia myself!) and it amplifies greens and blues. I think the rather unusual colour profile of Velvia required me to change the white balance dramatically in order to match it. [/QUOTE]
