Hello,

In a few garden shots containing crocosmia flowers which are bright red, after importing into Aperture they become overblown red blobs.

What is anyone's advice to correct for this? Not sure which adjustment is the best tool to use.

Thanks, Bill.

In the Color block pick the red or use the eye dropper and desaturate the reds slightly. I usually do this in Photoshop using the adjustment layer Selective Color and adding cyan to the Reds. Adding a color from another channel into the reds adds detail from the apposite color channel. I do my basic adjustments in Aperture and finalize the image in PS. Welcome to color channel mixing. Cheers
