# Vivid: more colour than the default rendering (camera-profiles.md §9).
#
# These do the work themselves, and work on every photograph — a JPEG, a body with no profile. They lean on
# vibrance before saturation: vibrance lifts muted colours most and holds
# skin back, so a frame gets richer before anything in it looks painted.
# Saturation, which moves every colour alike, is used sparingly on top.
#
# Each changes only what it names (FR-DEV-6), so a corrected exposure or
# white balance survives applying one.
#
# How much colour each adds is measured, not guessed: mean CIELAB chroma on
# raws rendered with the default (DNG reference) rendering, as a ratio to that
# rendering. For scale, the photographer's earlier exports of the same kind of
# raws sit at 1.14 with no look applied and 1.27 with their everyday look.
# Vivid 1.30 and Vivid warm 1.30 sit just above that; Vivid landscape 1.38;
# Vivid, strong 1.45; Vivid portrait 1.15, with its skin bands held down as
# written. Tuned by scaling each preset's colour values together, never its
# tone ones.
