Re: Canon R6 bad/washed out colors?

Using Standard or Automatic picture profiles will be disappointing... it was for me at least.

Use Fine Detail profile, adjust Sharpening to your preference but turn down Contrast and increase Saturation.

Other than Fine Detail, the Faithful profile works quite well if you are able to control the lighting or can manage to match the white balance in camera. Also with Faithful, turn down Contrast and increase Saturation and adjust Sharpening settings to your liking. It will take a few shots to decide what you prefer for sharpening.

Also, make sure the Clarity setting (which is NOT in Picture Profiles) is not below 0. For head shots or upper body portraits definitely go ahead and reduce the Clarity to below 0 but for landscapes, wildlife turn up Clarity.

HTH,
