Specifically, desaturate in the red since the other colors seem ok.
FWIW - I spend time in-camera checking the histogram in RGB specifically to
avoid this situation.

Maybe desaturate it a bit to bring it back into gamut? You might even be
able to do so selectively on the petals, to avoid stuffing up the rest of
the photo.

What do you do when the destination colorspace does not have the color
you need?
Let's say you have a photo, you look at the "soft proof" in LR (or in
PS), and you see that the "center-piece" color is way out of the
destination gamut. For example, I have the photo of this red flower
http://42graphy.org/misc/Flower_IR32063.jpg
In reality, that red is more toward orange. SRGB color space does not
have that color. I see how LR is going to change (you can see the
result), and I can change the color mapping (colorimetric or perceptual),
but it is still far from the "reality" (or what I think the reality is).
I know that in some cases, especially with soft-proofing for printing,
adjustments of the curve (often brightening or darkening) can help.
Unfortunately, this portion of the gamut seems to be really far away from
the SRGB boundary, so small tweaking of highlights and/or shadows, or the
saturation or luminance of the red channel alone doesn't help.
Is there some trick here that I am missing that could help adjusting the
colors, or, essentially the best I can do is just leave with the
conversion LR (or PS) does?
Previously, I had a similar situation with the carrot-type orange.
Any thoughts and suggestions?
Also, - in this case, this conversion of the red makes the top petals
blend together, and I cannot seem to find the "knob" to enhance the
separation.
All comments are very welcome!
