I think of it as the crap polishing filter in photoshop. It can take a nothing photo and turn it into something eyecatching.
Lately, when wandering, I find myself occasionally stopping to shoot totally boring photos (only thing that works in real life is composition) with the intention of running the images through the process... sometimes it works, some times it doesn't.

Thanks; I'll try it. I agree with Frank that hyper color isn't a good overall technique, but when it works, it works.

Adjust the exposure. Take the Fill, and Recovery sliders all the way to the right.... Slide black close to (or all the way) right. Add in as much brightness as you like (also maybe lowering exposure). For the kicker, add clarity and vibrance.Finally, open in photoshop and finish with adjustments to curves or levels.
