Just showing what a very small amount of editing can do. The only changed settings are listed on the picture - numbers are in Photoshop CC 2015. Picture taken with a Galaxy Note 3 with flash (no box light).
@KezyGLA It's not a huge change, but it makes quite a bit of difference in my opinion. Just aiming for a more natural color, as low-end cameras tend to wash out colors.
I've been considering making a photoshop tutorial or gimp tutorial for tarantula pictures. I've seen so many people that just hammer that contrast and saturation.
You'd be surprised how many times I've seen red OBT and blue P. irminia.
@bryverine Exactly! By no means am I an expert, but I can get by. Truth me told, I would have messed with the color levels and curves had I done this for real. Boost the reds just a smidgen, then boost the saturation. But this proves a point
I think that part of the reason why you would get unusual colouring and whatnot - both from the person who edited the photo and from the person viewing the photo - is that people don't calibrate their monitors. I would say that the vast majority of people don't calibrate them at all - let alone on a regular basis. And how many of those calibrate them properly?
Photos look different on my work monitor, than they do at home, because I don't bother calibrating my work monitors and I calibrate my home monitors regularly.
