<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1442589, member: 26030&quot;]I have not experienced any cases oversaturation or juicing of TrueView photos at all!&nbsp;&nbsp; And I have had perhaps close to 250 taken for me over the past 2 years.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However it should be noted that a TrueView photo is an OPTIMAL view of the coin (at it&#039;s BEST (typcially for Phil), it&#039;s most colorful viewing angle) ... with most toned coins they change color drastically as you tip them.&nbsp; Lighting angles and viewing angles make a huge difference.&nbsp; One big advantage TrueView photography has is there is no slab plastic in the way (causing glare).</p><p><br /></p><p>Clearly the BEST way to represent a toned coin is with perhaps 10 photos showing the various LOOKS of the coin as you tip it, however who has the time, money, or energy to do that.&nbsp; I have seen a few coins represented with video, that is probably best.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a good example of a photo I took compared with a Trueview ... The coin below I shot in indirect sunlight with my cr@ppy iphone!&nbsp; This is THROUGH the slab plastic.&nbsp;&nbsp; This image is RAW and not enhanced in any way (which you can clearly see by the normal color of the NGC label).&nbsp; Below that is Phil&#039;s PCGS TrueView photo of the same coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The main difference between my raw unenhanced iphone photo of this coin and Phil Arnolds TrueView photo is Phil had the advantage of no slab plastic being in the way ... and he&#039;s using a lot more light ... while I was using indirect sunlight through an opaqued skylight only.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can clearly see the colors and overall look of the coin images are nearly identical.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You be the judge!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/Image40.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1953LincWild.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
