This wasn't a problem with red per se; what I didn't understand was why
the difference between the camera's JPEG and the ACR conversion. As it
turned out I was able to duplicate the camera's version in ACR with just
a small increase in red channel saturation.
As to backlit stuff, if the backlighting is very bright you either have
to let it get blown out or use a reflector or flash to reduce the
differential in foreground and background brightness. The other
alternative *emphatically* explained to me by my photo mentor one day
when I was complaining about the bright sun is: Take the photo
somewhere else!! :-)
