Color Grading plug-in, creates a cine image look based on user input. For a contemporary image look, use complimentary colors in shadows and highlights. It is also preferable to be used on a somewhat neutral image (ie pre white balanced) for best control of the final result. If it's not a raw image balance it before with Color Balance 2.
