Wondering what techniques, or actions anyone uses to achieve the rich and saturated colors that I see in many images.

When I've messed around with saturation in my images I often wind up jacking up the skin tones, among other things. I know that on one or two images I can isolate the areas that I want to saturate but on many images this is not practical. I shoot with a 20D and a variety of Canon and Sigma lens, primarily a Canon 50 1.8, 85 1.8 and Sigma 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8.

I shoot raw and use PSCS2 for post processing.

Trying to take my images to another level so any tips on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have done numerous searches on this forum and the internet but have not found the type of info that I am looking for.

Thanks.

A lot of people here have tried the stuff from Dan Margulis' new book. See our reading group: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=18203
