is this a Photoshop coral? or...

I'm curious to know if this torch coral is under just actinics and or photoshop? I would love a torch that looks like this. Do any of you have this coral that looks just like this under your day lights? I believe it's a Flaming ghost torch.

 

To me it looks like the saturation is turned up on the photo.

 

It's a gold torch; lighting appears to be somewhat actinic based.

However, they're really that gold under blues, and still rather gold under whites.

 

Keep in mind, a good photographer has the ability to play with exposure settings, as well as other added effects applied before or even after the photo was taken, this is not including photoshop.

And for the record, that is an amazing torch coral. If they all looked like that, perhaps they would be much more popular than they already are. I'm a big fan of Euphyllia spp. They are easy to care for, grow fast, and look amazing. I always have to explain to people the difference between my frogspawn and hammer corals, and that of an anemone. Since my both seem to host my occelaris clown, causing people to assume it's an anemone.

 

This is very nice. Picture filter or not.

 

Agreed

 

I think you can safely assume that most any photos on a website are optimized. Some more than others.

 

that is a beautiful coral! I agree with others, enhanced or not.

 

As a matter of fact, 99% of all pictures in magazines have been altered in some fashion by Photoshop. The other 1% was forgotten accidentally.

 

wow very cool looking coral!! what is the the green coral on the left side?
