Hello!
Surely most of you have spent several thousands on your current gear; and so have I ... point being, I am very let down by input quality ≠ output quality. Most of my work is created for online purposes, e.g., web-presentations of any kind with the occasional print for advertising of my clients.
Using LR Classic (newest version through auto-update), I struggle, massively, to achieve 'true' reds and magentas in LR's editing softproofing. My target is SRGB and while I know that SRGB struggles somewhat with deep reds, the difference in color truly is too intense. E.g., recently I photographed an event which dealt mostly with strong and vibrant red lamps as key-color accent. In the 'normal' editing tab, these images look fabulous - as soon as I hit Softproofing (or upon exporting as SRGB) the images are flat and at best 'meh'.
Within the limitations of SRGB, are there any tricks to get the absolute most out of what's possible, regarding reds/magentas? I already played around with the 'normal' LR settings, but the ceiling is hit at what I would call darkish-oranges.
PS: My original images are RAW, 24MP, AdobeRGB
Thank you for any help/ tutorials/ tricks.
