Colorcast & Flat Color issue

Starting with conversion settings “Basic” and pre-saturation set at 3 (I mostly use 2), I get the following conversions:


Color set to Auto-Warm, shadows shifted towards yellow


Tighter crop, Auto-Warm


Color set to Kodak, added some contrast. For further corrections, you might want to play with the color sliders in the mids/highs/shadows tabs (see first image for example)

Note that I cropped off the top part of the portrait to exclude possibly burnt highlights. You can always re-crop after the conversion - one of the beauties of NLP’s staying in raw!

Also note that these conversions are intended to give you a few hints on how to “cook” rather than providing the complete meal.
