Re: My first prints from my GH5 are a disaster! Where am I going wrong?

The woman's skin in particular looks pretty bad. You'll need to find a different balance between noise filtering and sharpening. If you could upload the RAW of that image to a file hosting site, perhaps a few of us could try a different raw developer to show the difference.

In general, if you're shooting raw anyway, it is better to "expose to the right" i.e. maximize the exposure without clipping the highlights, then reduce the brightness in post-processing for the desired result. Zebra's on the GH5 are very useful for that, but check that their default setting isn't too low (I set them at 100%).
