Can't believe Grey's cellphone pic doesn't show off the colors like Heritage's professional camera/lighting set-up do.
I think it's all rigged.
And I think Januskopf should boycott bidding on any of these out of general principle.
If you go back and read my earlier posts, I said, at least twice, that I have taken into account the type of camera used, lighting setup (once again, it is easy to see that Grey's image of Millie was taken using available room light or indirect, diffused daylight only and appears slightly blue because of that).
Speculation is just that, so I did ask Grey yesterday (here on APF) the question about images being enhanced or colors being boosted to some degree, before being published to their online auction catalog. Others have commented in this thread on this very same issue (I guess Chris-CSM is also seeing something that isnt so, too?).
The cell phone pic is a nice shot. I may be wrong, and certainly would concede this if so, but having worked with not only color corrected hero product packaging for commercials and print campaigns (wherein labels, images and lettering are boosted and saturated for the camera), as well as digital images, I would be willing to say this the cell phone picture is a closer representation of the
overall vibrancy and saturation (again, I'm not commenting on hue here) of the Millie poster than the online catalog image is.
Crow, you dont know the answer, either. Your comments really are the same as mine, but in the reverse, assuming no boosting has been done. It's called healthy debate.
The only entity that can answer this question with certainty is HA.
