The 2nd and 3rd pic (with the bear) was altered for contrast by two steps (I don''t know what you call it in the photo program that I use, but it''s not photoshop) because I wanted more detail on the money box when it went B&W. So the color is pinker and more bold than in real life - I am not good in post, so trying to keep the pad the color I photographed, but changing the contrast on everything else was too time consuming for me to figure out. Also the pad pops more because the rest of the photo is in B&W. The first pic and last pic is pretty close to what I captured, and the contrast was darkened by only one step. The last pic especially is pretty much what I captured, although again, it''s not exactly what I see in IRL. Pads are very tough to represent. The last pic is also not in B&W...only added a little bit of spot filter, but the money box is grey and it''s taken against a black desk, so it looks almost B&W.
None of the other photos in this thread were played with (except to size). I just had a little fun with the latest ones because of the PS community project I did them for.
I have to revive this thread again because I just love this ring! And TGal, if you see this thread again, would you mind telling me the dimensions of your stone? I am interested in a similar project (not with a pad sapphire but a different stone), but I want to make sure that 5 stones will not be too large to go across my finger.
Bump again! TGal, I just stumbled on the infamous imitation thread, and I wanted to let you know that even though I may have a ring similar to yours made, it will be a different center stone, and probably a cushion not an oval, and most likely different sized half moons and bullets. So, I hope you don''t mind me having a ring made similar to yours. I just wanted to know the dimensions of your pad sapphire, so I can get some idea of what size stone I should get that will not be too big. My finger size is a 4.5 and I don''t want the bullets to be covered by my adjacent fingers.
