Friends who like the colors in my photos, often ask me about my Post processing steps and methods. The answer is the fact that there is little Post processing for colors, if any at all. I do all my color processing at the time of conversion. I limit post processing to sharpening and some color tweaking, if the image needs some. Most of the time spent on an image is in conversion and in sharpening afterwards.


The following images are screen copies of this particular Frog image, in Adobe ACR. The first screen shot shows the frog as it was recorded by the camera raw and the last one is the finished product. As you can see, there was really little work done in post processing, not much sharpening either and the image was captured at F38!
I use the curve function a lot and so I do the Calibrate page, the last page in ACR interface. Think of the sliders in the Calibrate page, as channel mixers and you will soon find the relationship between the different sliders.
Hope that helps,
Cyrus.

Cyrus, could you do a walkthrough of how you converted your mega bee or mega fly photos as well? I've never seen anyone come up with the look you achieve!

Robert,
Thanks for the interest. I'm intended to go over some of my images including Mega Bee and Mega Fly. I will do that as soon as possible and there is nothing stopping me except for time.
Cheers
