[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 276427, member: 6277"] I don't use recipes so I really can't help you there. I would assume that they are custom preset that you have set up. The two thing I use most are Viveza and Define. In Viveza the best thing I ever learned is using the Control points to target the corrections. Target the to busy background and turn down the structure. For the important areas turn up the structure. You can also adjust the brightness, contrast and a lot of other things in just the area of the control point. You can set as many control points as you want in a photo and adjust each one differently. You can also select multiple control points and control them at the same time.
