ward827 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 A little too pink, IMO. If you take it further down the magenta scale it'll look like you have a bad case of cyano! W- Link to comment
ny300z Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 no. too washed out and too pink. So easy to tell its fake when you increase a color that much Link to comment

uglybuckling Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Why exactly are you trying to photoshop your coral? I'm sure he wants to sell it on eBay. *puts on flame-resistant suit* Link to comment

Withers Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 why not use photoshop to make the picture more lifelike instead? you're perpetuating the idiocy that editing a photo is only used to make things look better than they do in real life. does your coral look radioactive in real life? no? then don't photoshop it to look that way.

Aquanist Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Pictures with pink/green/blue/yellow sand and/or rocks are useless trash. Link to comment
jfarabaugh Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 worst photoshop ever Link to comment
exosket Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 If you mask out the polyps so the rocks, etc aren't effected, it would look more believable. Link to comment

Or used PS to edit the scene to make it look much more dramatic and eye appealing. nothing wrong with turning an image into something crazy as long as its not a item trying to pass off as how it looks for a sale.

Fact: In this hobby photoshop is considered taboo because people boost saturation to sell corals Opinion: Thinking that photoshop is evil because people abuse it to sell corals is idiotic Fact: Editing pictures of corals to be obviously fake perpetuates that idiocy. Opinion: There's no need to enhance coral colors when they're so vibrant to begin with, but if people want to do it to be artistic, more power to them. It just gives the idiots who think photoshop is bad more fuel. Link to comment
