Photoshopped?
« on: April 03, 2014, 03:03:25 PM »
I take a keen interest in Caspian blue Mustangs, just wondering if Mustang Monthly has photo-shopped Bob's car to enhance the color?

Often digital cameras have a mind of their own as far as settings. A slight tweak of the contrast can produce what I think your referring to when comparing the two pictures

Caspian blue varies depending on the light and angle.  Either pic looks normal to me.

+1 it is called metamerism.

I have features in both my photo editing programs that when used, automatically enhance, correct or fix colors, tone and contrast. Most software packages do. Magazines do the same with their photos but concentrate on skin tone primarily and any other colors are left to the computer's own "judgment".
