How to reduce red channel saturation? I've been having a great time taking pictures with my K20d. I have the custom image set to "natural" (with fine sharpness +1). I find that most images come out great (although often underexposed, but that's another story). However, whenever I take pictures of people in incandescent light the red channel is totally over-saturated. Sometimes to the point of blowing out. Skin looks bright red instead of natural. I have to reduce the red channel saturation in Aperture by about 20 points for the images to look ok.
White balance is not the issue: I set it to the incandescent preset (auto white balance is hopeless in incandescent light, but spot on in other lighting conditions) and tweaking the color temperature in the RAW file makes reduces the red saturation somewhat, but makes all other colors look wrong.
So, is there a way to set the K20d to reduced saturation in the reds, but leave the other colors unaffected? I don't want to have to post-process all my shots. |
