Usually when buying online I will look around for a few different pics of the coral so I can get a feel for what it should look like. But sometimes it happens I ordered a lobo from a sponsor and the pic was blue rim with a pink middle , when I got it the lobo was green rim with orange center . Twas still a nice piece but nowhere near the photo . What zoas did you buy? The razor should make the colors glow like a t5 would . Turn your blues up and whites off and that's probably how you were viewing it . My razor 160w 200000k makes all my zoas glow.

Colours can look quite different on two different screens too. What the photographer sees and claims is true to life could look much duller or more saturated on your screen.

Color (White) balancing makes a big difference. I find my photos look amazing after automatic color balancing. Some people call it photoshopping but nowadays most digital cameras can be configured to do some kind of processing/correction without software on a PC.
I personally don't like manually increasing color intensities in photos and won't do it myself. But I use automatic color balancing all the time. In addition, I found my aquarium lighting makes a big difference. So far my Kessils give me better colors for photos than my halides and T5s. From what I can see, a lot of store photos are simply color/white balanced and they look amazing. I don't have any issues when people use automatic color balancing on their photos. A few people here and there probably go beyond color balancing and generally, those photos look fake to me. That, I'm not thrilled with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_balance   Last edited by Samw; 05-22-2015 at 09:37 PM.
