Choose the best plan to make a raw photo look more professional without making colors unrealistic: First, fix white balance; then adjust exposure/brightness; next refine contrast; finally sharpen details.
Start with saturation, then contrast, followed by sharpness, and finish with exposure
First fix white balance, adjust exposure/brightness, refine contrast, then sharpen
Immediately switch to CMYK, then increase exposure and saturation only
Skip white balance and contrast; only sharpen and change color profile
