Here's where you toggle that setting...

I believe this changes depending on how much LR picks up a particular color in the original shot. So even though it added a lot of purple to the photo that you quoted of mine, it may not do the same for that particular shot that you're editing.

Hope that helps...

EDIT: I see why you can't find that option in that picture... it's because it's not there. I shoot RAW files and it allows you to have more control when doing post processing in LR. That's why you can't change the white balance on that pic like I did on mine. You would have to tweak it manually.

What camera are you using? If you have the option to shoot RAW format, you will be able to make way more changes in LR4. Here's what I just threw together with that shot of yours by the way.

Yeah, you def should be shooting in RAW format with that kind of camera.

I made it look sharper by using the Clarity option (I bumped it up to 19). I think it looks pixelated in the one you did because of the contrast with the colors is too high. I also added some grain to that picture to take away from the pixelation as well.

idk man i already got the clarity on in my LR i think it might be whatever settings im exporting it with cuz it looks just as clean as yours right now in LR.....
