austrokiwi Pillar of the Community 2087 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 10:02 am I only have four slabs in my collection. I need to photograph one for an article. Its an NGC slab....and I am getting a different to life colour on the label. The coin is the right color any suggestions? ( I have never photographed slabs B4). I have no problems with just the coin!

austrokiwi Pillar of the Community 2087 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 11:33 am Good questions! They have me thinking hard!! The coin is true to life....and the label on the slab is pretty clear. I suppose I wanted to have it all true to life! Report this Post to the Staff

This won't affect the dark color of the coin. Try reducing the Red channel (maybe Magenta) saturation in post. Report this Post to the Staff

The lighting I used was "fluorescing" ( cant think of a more correct term) in the hologram..I would never have picked the magenta saturation as the key Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
