Its not even really far away from original. Just intensified a bit. But the color is still pretty much as it is.

Took me a while to find this specific color.

What kind of camera do you use!?!
iPhone 12 max pro for the majority of my photos. With a yellow and brown lens and a macro lens if the coral is close enough. I also use a Nikon D5000 same lens filter colors

I'm more interested in the "yes, it really does look like this" corals than the "look how much I photoshopped this" corals. Sweet anemone!

Agree

@VintageReefer --- You've got to get in on this! Looks like a Photoshop dream.......
I don’t own photoshop, and I have no experience editing pictures. I don’t even change brightness.

Point and click with appropriate lens to make the picture color match in person viewing

Here’s some that look unreal or fake but this is how they look in real life

Don’t you adjust your lights though? Or was that someone else??

I point and shoot too. Unless I take photos in RAW format which then allows me to adjust the white balance

I sometimes need to increase whites to make photos come out more realistic

So you adjust your white balance via the lights.

In basic editing this can be the “warmth” of the photo

In adobe light room it is the temperature and is either shown in Kelvin’s (2000-50000) or a basic number +/- (-100 to 100).

The cooler the temp the more blue it appears

It’s a pre photo correction because cameras are more sensitive to blue spectrum and embellish it.

It changes the look in person, but corrects it on the camera
