The flash really brought out colours, a little too much.

Does your camera have a way to digitally decrease the amount of light while
using the flash? I find that a great way to use the flash to fill in shadows
while the digital light control prevents color over-saturation. I think it's
better than, and definately takes less time than, using Photoshop for flash
correction.

One way to soften a flash up is to cover it with one layer of a well
worn men's handkerchief. The thin white cotton softens the light just
enough to cut the harshness with out removing the amount needed to
help fill shadows.
