I’ve been playing with subtractive saturation (i.e. lowering luminance in heavily saturated areas) in Davinci, which has encouraged me to crank up the overall saturation a bit. But how much is too much? Using my current node tree it is difficult to push the vectorscope beyond the safe area, but is the end result too much or does it look pleasing at a fairly extreme value?
