Using saturate in variations and then the other settings in variations, I can take an image that’s nearly white. As long as it had some color in the washed out version, I can get the color back to some degree enough to give it some improvement.

But What I’d like to do is take it just that last inch and restore the gloss to the colors.

I tried all the filters, but not every setting on every filter. I thought the pass filters might be the closest to restoring the color gloss.

I looked into using different color palettes, but IIRC that’s pretty much just for printing am I right ?

Any hints/ideas on how to restore the gloss to semi washed out colors ?

Switch to Lab mode and bump the slope of the a and b channels, keeping the center point of each curve in the same location. You can also get rid of some serious color casts by moving the endpoints of these curves around. —

I might not have played around with it long enough. But I did try a 3% dark clipping on the advanced settings for the lightness channel and that actually worked with the auto adjust button. 4% worked also..

It was a total surprise almost like two different shots.

maybe a little more info on how a and b can restore the dull colors to their original luster.

Even a slight change on a or b holding the center locked caused a vivid change in colors.
