<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1442608, member: 29751&quot;]I don&#039;t want to hijack the NEWPS thread too much, but here is my example.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t pay for the TrueView, but it&#039;s just a coin I purchased and it happened to have a TrueView image.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]177818.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t imaged the coin myself, but all I can say is I have no idea how this image would have been taken without some saturation boosting after the fact.&nbsp; I get that the coin is out of the holder, but as anyone who has seriously undertaken coin photography will tell you, to get the entire surface of the coin in focus you need to have it <u>parallel</u> to the sensor, so &quot;tilting for the optimal angle&quot; isn&#039;t really what&#039;s going on.&nbsp; Maybe he uses a tilt-shift set-up?&nbsp; Regardless, the level of toning on this coin in hand is <b><u>no where</u></b> near what is portrayed in the image.&nbsp; It is a beautiful coin, and it will remain in my type set for a long time, but the toning is very slight in hand, under any and every lighting condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phil is definitely a good photographer, but he definitely takes artistic freedoms with his images.&nbsp; WL, you might be the first person who should be noted &quot;collect the coin, not the TrueView image&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Just kidding you a little bit... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>-Brandon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
