Red color always very saturated
 |
Perhaps this is not optimum place to discuss technical problems, but I would like to ask for a question that probably most already also felt. It’s related with the form as the digital photo treats the red color. Generally in the photos I make, the red color always stay very saturated, and I’ve already tried some forms to resolve this and so far I did not have success. Somebody will be able to give an aid? At this moment I make photo with a Nikon D80, already I made with a D50, one Coolpix and a Sony, and always happened the same. Thanks

Is there a function in you camera settings that boosts saturation? My camera has a "vivid" function and I usually turn it off if I'm shooting something that's already bright/highly saturated.
P.S. You might get more targeted responses if you ask this in a group specific to you camera model.

I shoot with a D50 also and have the same problem. I don't want to decrease the saturation for the rest of the photo just for the red... let me know if you figure it out.

Shoot in RAW mode with normal saturation, then raise the saturation selectively in RAW processing. Finally, output a tif or jpg file as required.
Alternatively, you can go old-school and use a filter-frame mounted on the front of the lens. You can then use optical-quality color-balancing filter gels in the frame. I suggest that if you have too saturated red, then use Cyan +10cc or +15cc to begin with! This sort of color-balancing methodology is still in use in repro- work and medium and large format photography, to mention a few!

If you have Photoshop Elements or Photoshop go to 'image adjustments' and choose 'Hue/Saturation". Click on the drop down menu and choose 'Red'. You can now reduce the amount of red by lowering the saturation value. - Mike

That last suggestion works unless you've got so much excessive red saturation that you are blown out (maxed out, i.e. "255 red") on the red channel for certain areas - in that case, bringing it back down in post-processing will cause color shifts. I've found that very saturated reds (like flowers) will tend to do just this, so if you want to keep the red fully accurate you may need to underexpose a hair to give yourself wiggle room.

I shoot with a D200 with the colour on 'extra vivid'. I sometimes still boost the red during post-processing (in Aperture). You can also decrease the red selectively in Aperture.
Recently, I shot outdoors and accidentally left the camera on ISO1000 and used a fill flash. Here's the result - without post-processing of the red:

If you find your exposure button (marked by a plus/minus symbol) and try moving to the Minus one stop or two and you will have better luck.
