[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 428535, member: 1916"] The background colour on the container is the giveaway as to what is going on, some of this effect can be fiddled with using the brightness setting prior to taking the photo on the iPad camera and colour tones can be fiddled with afterwards assume the phone has the same control. I am with you though, a good shot showing what the eye can see is the bottom line for integrity. Have you tried locking on the white container to capture true colour then moving it forward to make the stone match the locked focal length? Ultimately I think you share the same frustration as me Lefty - to invest in a decent camera and learn how to use it properly, or persist with what you have and try to make the best of it. Having seen some of Barneys stones on his Facebook page, I know the answer is throw another grand on the table........but :rolleyes: .....as I like hammering my head at a brick wall sometimes, maybe one more crack at mastering the iPad camera before I admit defeat.. :brokenh: [/QUOTE]
