warm it up? do you?

[EinstStein]

You are probably familiar with this. It is said warming up a picture makes it more pleasing.
I didn't notice how bad it is until I become serious about color balance.
Do you warm up you picture in the normal process? When? How? How much?
I am particularly concerned for printing.

I use Qimage Ultimate as my printer software.  I never print out of PS or LR.  QU tweaks far better for me and controls things like the paper's profile easier too.

In the Color. Sel. tab in the Qimage Editor, there is an auto-color boost that has been added that punches up the colors.  Mostly warms it up quite a bit.  That or use the eyedropper tool (e.g. on the skin to warm it up a bit) and find out which color it is in the array (Usually Yellow or Red) and boost the Red reading by 0.10 and maybe drop the Blue (Adding yellow) by 0.05 points.  Might drop the Magenta 0.02 at times too.  That keeps me from adding some color cast to some other object by doing it that way rather than the entire image.

If you want general warm up without the above, just use the Warming Filter in PS in a copied layer and adjust up or down as needed and then flatten it and save it for printing.
