gepfinfact New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 11:45 am I have BU Franklins Halves with great luster. Anyway, 2 ebay guys have attractive Franklins with blue/steely Hues in their photos. The coins in real life are not toned but Brilliant Uncirculated. The photos look great. What lights/techniques/software can I get for my bright Franklins to develop a blueish tendency and/or a combination of a steely color.When selling on ebay, I would like the first picture to be that attractive color then other pictures could show scratches,and strike. 2 images are attached to help people see the blueish tendency for bright silver. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19340 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 12:00 pm Most reputable/main stream photo editing software solutions will allow for color manipulation--that's a good thing, and not so good too. I'd encourage sellers to only post images which accurately represent the actual coin as seen in-hand, under natural lighting conditions. Just my opinion.

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 2:14 pm Color manipulation is as far as I'm concerned a form of fraud. Do you want the coins you sell on ebay to get returned to you with negative feedback? Report this Post to the Staff
gepfinfact New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 7:42 pm Great replies and both you are right. I do not think I could come up with such great "colored" pictures. Nor would I really want to. On the other hand, I would not mind a little blue tint so someone looks at my picture a second longer. My question for Silver/Photo guys was it a certain bulb, or software, or what that made these coins somewhat unique. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 07/13/2021 8:21 pm it is all about lighting, But don't try to do it.. It's a great way for you to get your coin returned to you.. When selling a photo should represent what the coin actually looks like, not what it may look like under different lighting set-ups.. Report this Post to the Staff
