<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2443592, member: 44210"]I've never been truly satisfied with the photos I took of my Justinian solidus. Compared to how it looks in hand, it is a lot more yellow than it should be. And (besides for the initial photos) I have a strict "no-taking-it-out-of-the-holder-and-touching-it" policy since my solidus is gold and thus soft, and I would literally stop breathing if something bad happened to it. So I've used Photoshop to change the color of my solidus in the original photos to better match that softer, more natural dull yellow that I see with my own eyes. Oh and I added a solid black background as well. Thoughts? Opinions?
