When you say that, you’re thinking mainly about pale white skin tones that can easily reach extreme luminances, like on a studio setting where you get plenty of light, correct?
I’m a bit confused about when to use chroma preservation, since I always have to go to another tool to compensate its over-saturation. I mean, if I have to do that, why simply not unchecking chroma saturation, and then raise a bit global and extreme saturation sliders? Also, chroma saturation seems to have a stronger effect on the reds.
So, if I’m going to use filmic, should I set exposure like this…
… instead of this (default exposure settings, original raw without any clipping)
Usually I wouldn’t change anything on the exposure tool on an image like this.
