<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 770227, member: 15309&quot;]Travis,</p><p><br /></p><p>From time to time, you will notice that lighting conditions can drastically change the color or the coin in a photo.&nbsp; Professional photographers have the skill required to capture true color most of the time.&nbsp; And although I take pride in my photos, I am no where near a professional.&nbsp; I just bough by first DSLR a few months ago and this particular coin was imaged with a point &amp; shoot.&nbsp; The problem with color being off a little is that it requires manual adjustments to fix it completely.&nbsp; I try very hard not to do this so that others will not accuse me of juicing my photos.&nbsp; I make brightness, contrast, and autolevel adjustments only.&nbsp; This is my photo that I took of that coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%204%20Sale/JeffersonNickel1945-DPCGSMS66Oma-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now here is what the photo looks like after making some color adjustments in photoshop.&nbsp; I use auto-color followed by +5 red/cyan and -5 to green/magenta.&nbsp; Here are the results.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%204%20Sale/JeffersonNickel1945-DPCGSMS66Oma-5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this photo is a more accurate representation of the actual appearance of the coin in hand.&nbsp; The centers are a peach color that yields to a lilac patina.&nbsp; In my original photo that are looks sky blue.&nbsp; Feel free to use this photo as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
