<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robec, post: 1442682, member: 19094&quot;]The one disadvantage the lens has is that it can only see one view at a time. The eye can see hundreds of subtle movements of the coin and light in seconds. If you are a buyer of toners you don&#039;t lay the coin straight down to determine colors, you hold it in front of you and wiggle it back and forth. The camera lens doesn&#039;t have that luxury. If you are shooting a toner, such as what Phil is doing, you try to show the colors the coin has in one shot. The coin doesn&#039;t have to be manipulated (other than tilting for the best angle) or image tweaked or saturated. If anything, with the light at certain angles, the image would have to be unsaturated (which can be adjusted in the camera before any new shots are taken). This is especially true on neon toned proofs or even some neon toned mint state coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another example of straight down and tilted. Is this tweaked? Both images are correct, but the 2-D only captures one view at a time. The human eye will see it in a second.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/robec1347/Lincoln Proof Set/1962PrRawObv_01sm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/robec1347/Lincoln Proof Set/1962PrRawObv_03sm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another. This is in a slab. Top photo is straight down. The bottom photo is at a slight angle. Without the slab there would be no glare. By Lance&#039;s definition, this would be tweaked or a misrepresentation. Both photos are correct and neither is saturated or tweaked. This is what the TrueView brings out and for the most part, correctly so. Not always, but fairly consistently.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/robec1347/Lincoln Proof Set/1961Npf67bnObv_02sm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o176/robec1347/Lincoln Proof Set/1961Npf67bnObv_03sm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
