<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 658187, member: 15309&quot;]To further illlustrate my point, take a look at before and after photos of Island&#039;s photo compared to my photo.&nbsp; The first is their photo on their website.&nbsp; The second is their photo after a hue modification of +10 and a saturation modification of -20.&nbsp; I promise my photo is not color modified other than auto leveled and brightness.&nbsp; I consider my photo a very accurate representation of the coin&#039;s actual appearance.&nbsp; Notice how the second modified photo of Island&#039;s looks alot like mine.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Juiced%20Photos/JeffersonNickel1943-SNGCMS66comp-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some collectors become very angry at what they call juicing of photos.&nbsp; I personally just accept it as part of doing business.&nbsp; In order to compete with the flagrant juicers, almost every online dealer of toned coins is forced to make some minor adjustments to their photos in order to ensure they make a profit on the coins.&nbsp; More often than not a great toned coin will always look better than a photo can represent.&nbsp; It is all but impossible to capture the effect that luster has on the color in a photo.&nbsp; Some dealers resort to radical enhancement of their photos which leads to an inaccurate representation of the coin.&nbsp; As long as you can predict what the coin will look like with a high level of consistency, you can overcome the practice of juiced photos.&nbsp; However, it is really not something I can teach, experience is the only teacher in this area of collecting toned coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
