>>3459258I don't mess with raw, this is SOOC jpeg, all I did was crop and straighten it. I didn't adjust any of the tuning parameters like highlight/shadow, color, etc. (although I always have NR at -4), just CC film simulation. I pushed the WB shift to red since there's a lot of brick buildings in that part of town so I really wanted to have everything nice and warm in the sun.
I probably had it set at -2/3 (in camera) to avoid any glaring highlights, and it helps bring out the color a little bit.
Another preset I use is CC, with -2 shadow and -3 color for shooting harsh contrast scenes at night. Give it a little underexposure and you get soft but detailed shadows, and I love what CC does with the colors of artificial lighting. This is a crappy picture, but maybe it shows what I mean.
