It really is a matter of taste. Personally, I prefer a lower saturation. 
With a gamma of 0.8 in PSP it comes closer but the shadows are too dark. 
Best is to tweak the parameters further in Fusion. There is a certain 
learning curve to undergo :-)

Following the PSP method though, after the gamma adjustment, adjust 
Highlight/Midtone/Shadow using the Dynamic adjustment method, and set 
Shadow to 7. Don't touch the others.
