Yeah, I'm not convinced. It's not so much the colors; they often look fine. For
me, it's the detail. Flower petals have
surface detail and vascular detail, that shows slightly when front lit and a
lot when back lit. Letting the red channel
blow wipes out that detail. You end up with pig areas of just one color.
I prefer to at least try to avoid blown reds, then make sure the color is 'in
you face' enough in post.
