how I do it:

shoot raw with dialed negative EV compensation, usually -1 EV, then in Lightroom: first shift the exposure with fill light and brightness to get the whole picture exposed correctly - this overexposes the reds, then in HSL module I lower the luminance of red and (when needed) orange channel to the point red is not overexposed, and after that use the brush with some + 20 to +30 brightness adjustment to locally brighten the reds as needed

it is time consuming to do with a lot of pictures but works good for me

few output examples here:

for print, I would add more brigtness to these pics because they would look too dark (except for the last one), they are just fine on the LCD

you can see some little overexposure in those reds, well, I am not a master yet <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
