Thanks for your explanation. That indeed explains what I observe.

It's supposed to be my job to give it life. ;-)

In fact, the effect is horrible on skins. But greens, tennis courts,
sweat-shirts... everything is much too saturated.
Even on landscape pictures, I don't want these kind of colours.
That's why I almost always deactivate the basic curve, instead of trying to
'repair' its effect with some other tools. If I'd like to apply some
push/pull treatments I'm not able to understand and control, it would much
simpler/quicker to shoot in JPEG and use the Canon Picture Styles!
