<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman_Ben, post: 1035009, member: 9923&quot;]I think that while it&#039;s wrong to misrepresent your coins, there&#039;s a fine line between brightening a photo of a picture that is taken with a horrible camera for taking pictures of coins and blatantly misrepresenting the coin&#039;s condition by adjusting the lighting.&nbsp; In my opinion, if someone has to find a way to make the photo of the coin and inadvertently misrepresents the condition of the coin because they don&#039;t have a very good camera for taking pictures of coins, I&#039;m very understanding of that as I used to take pictures of my coins with a computer scanner and it did horrible things to the resulting image, making the coin look worse than it actually was, so I had to brighten the image in Photoshop to get an image that was closer to what it actually looks like than what I got, unfortunately, the Photoshopped image made the coin look better than it really was and I have a feeling that that was why most of my ebay customers in the beginning were &quot;drive by&quot; customers (i.e. they ordered once, than never again).&nbsp; Now that I have an HP photosmart digital camera, I use the &quot;macro&quot; function on the lense adjustment on my camera, which is optimized for capturing the necessary details and intricacies of the average coin and I don&#039;t have to do any photoshopping except to crop the images to cut out as much of the background as possible, other than that, I don&#039;t do any editing of the coin photos I take.&nbsp; In fact, I&#039;ve had someone I&#039;ve shared a photo of one of my coins with and they were astounded by how good my camera is because the photos I take with my HP photosmart digital camera are so lifelike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
