Ah, good point - I'm a noob with these settings and had to do some research before replying.

I just use the default settings which is one 'stop' up on sharpness, contrast and saturation, and in the middle for color tone - which would have caused these blown out reds - in hindsight a stop down on saturation would have kept the reds in check.

Does anyone have recommended settings for these? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I shoot raw these would have no effect? (although I currently shoot jpeg I am starting to shoot the occasinal RAW shot when I think I have a sweet shot)
