Curious on your thoughts of that? I'm shooting my narrative feature and I like the flat-ish look....Best for color grading?

 

I have another PP setting which I like as well: http://www.xdcam-user.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=1097&p=1647#p1647

Just shot an actress for an audition using the stock PP6. Did quick experiments with saturation and curves, then used the footage as is, no changes. Looks pretty good- fast turn-around. Used a Canon 24-105 F4L at F6.3 (indicated), MB Speed Booster, ISO 1600.
