NVPS Photo Tips
Do your images have flat or dull colors? Try changing your white balance setting to 'CLOUDY'. This is similar to adding a warming filter to your camera and will work particularly well with outdoor portraits and landscapes. Adjusting your white balance is easier than carrying extra filters. Of course if you are shooting in RAW you can adjust your white balance in your photo editing software and compare your results.
