<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 7924803, member: 110226&quot;]It&#039;s possible, in Photoshop, to manipulate color and lighting, including surface shadows and highlights.&nbsp; I think that is what was done by the seller to give the coin an &quot;orichalcum&quot; appearance, very different from the actual green patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some photos from the seller of a recent purchase:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/DbMAAOSwWLhhJtGK/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/U2UAAOSwnkphJtF~/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>His images do capture the even color of the coin on both side, but the light source, which looks like outdoors, created very dark shadow contrasts.&nbsp; Also the coin is quite a bit darker, with less brownish tint than show in these images.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my pictures of the same coin, taken indoors with natural light.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1369229[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The shadows are not as prominent, and color and darkness, while not right on target with the coin in hand, are somewhat better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
