Mike, I'm not sure what you're talking about actually. The color you see in the pressed beads are actual. Browns, black, soft yellow and amber. The only thing I have a problem with is the sparkle of the silver or at least the shine. The first picture is flat no doubt about it. I did very little to edit it and very little to actually pose it properly. It was a quick shot just to try out the lights. I'm still waiting on the background I bought to straighten out so I can use it with the 18% gray scale card.
I'll try the light in front as well once everything else is ready to use. Thanks for the tip.
