If I know more, then I may have some good tips to start.
I am an experienced photographer, but not very experienced in post processing. I'm an old Kodachrome shooter. Get it right in camera. I've loosened up some with digital, but still very much get it right in camera.
I have Photoshop Elements, Gimp, Pentax DCU 5, and free Nik collection.
With the K-1 and especially 645Z, shadows can be lifted quite a bit. But sometimes the tones near the midrange look desaturated. But simply adding saturation still doesn't seem to do the trick. It starts to look unnatural.
Thanks,
