Do you just adjust them so they look acurate to the coin in question on your own monitor, or do you adjust for an "average" monitor? I KNOW the color on my monitor isn't adjusted properly, cause it's new and I haven't had the time to figure out how to adjust it yet. Thanks for all the help! I'm gettin there....

That raises an important point for all of us, when evaluating photos posted by others: Just because it looks "wrong" on your monitor, doesn't mean it looks "wrong" on the photographer's monitor, or in real life. I always view color in a coin with a grain of salt, even when it looks perfect to me. Report this Post to the Staff

LOL So...if you can, get your monitor adjusted, and then shoot your coin pics so they look right to you. Not a thing you can do to make sure they'll look right on mine! Report this Post to the Staff
