<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3939607, member: 19463&quot;]All photos require a setting for &#039;color balance&#039;. Our eye-brain unions do all this automatically but cameras have to define &#039;white&#039;.&nbsp; Some have very good routines that do almost as well as can be expected.&nbsp; Some do not.&nbsp; Some people set their cameras to one balance manually and then us the wrong color light.&nbsp; The old photo is waaaay too blue as if the camera were set to expect &#039;indoor&#039; tungsten light bulbs but was used in daylight.&nbsp; The second is believable to me but you say it is wrong.&nbsp; I have not seen the coin.&nbsp; All that really matters is that the camera is set (automatically or manually) for the same mixture of colors that make &#039;white&#039; as the light is that falls on the coin when the photo is taken.&nbsp; With nonadjustable cameras, you are at the mercy of the settings they gave you.&nbsp; I am not going to learn how all phones and cameras work but reshooting until you luck out and they match is one way to do it.&nbsp; Often, these cameras work best in daylight but not bright sun so you might have better luck in indirect sunlight near a window with no artificial lights on in the room.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
