Default Orchid Photos: Getting Those Reds?

Howdy folks

Was just following this thread and thought I would drop some comments.
I would definitely go with photoshop 7, don't even look at photoshop
elements, its wishy washy to say the least.

Anyway, most graphical/photo editing proggies have a tool/function called
'auto levels'. Usually applying this function will give you very true
colours. If the original poster would like to e-mail me the pic I can show
you before and after pictures just to show you what I'm talking about. my
mail is remove removespam to get me

Good reds are very difficult with a diverse background. I've found that

the
best way to get a good red is to provide a monochromatic background of

blue
(especially), yellow, brown, gray, or just about anything but purple and
some greens. I know there are technical explainations of why the reds

are
difficult but this is the best work-around I've come across. It may not

be
"natural", but you'll get the red you want.

To all you ace photographers out the

What do you do to get good reds? We've got a great camera now, and

can
get
true colors in every hue but some reds. I posted a pic in abpo of

Dtps.
Taisuco Firebird, but the true color is a deeper and richer fuscia

than
what
we captured.

We get the "brown" reds, and the maroons are perfect. But the hot

fuscias
are a problem. Any advice welcome!
