I guess I described it wrong. Not POP so much as not making the darned images look pallid and like a coloured pencil drawing
I'm not talking HDR or any of that BS, I just want my images to not look "pushed" for want of a better description. I tried some things on my latest revision of Corona Australis, and it seemed to give me the look I want, but then tried it on Ara's Dragons, and still looks like an impressionist painting.
