Photoshop or real?
- Thread starter auratum

I am an amateur photographer. In photos, red generally shows up super saturated. However, the are plenary of programs out there that allow a user to put in color brightness and expand the saturation. So, in this case, it's hard to tell but I can say that the red looks overly done.

In Asia, sellers do use lights to enhance the colors of the fish they're selling. I think what you're seeing right here is a fish under a pink light, taken with a camera that really saturated the red. Honestly, the fish most likely does possess a brilliant colour, just not as bright as in the photos. You could always ask for additional photos.
Thanks for the opinions. I contacted the original seller to see if they have any more like this for sale and they have not responded. I also tried to contact the people who purchased these with no response. Before I would buy one like this, I would request a video of the fish for sale. It is possible to tweak videos, but it is more difficult. They can still use pink lights, but harder to change the color saturation. I think they also dose heavily with the artificial red color enhancer used in raising Salmon commercially.
I'm a graphic designer, and can say it's a definite photoshop creation. If you look at the gravel in the "background" you can see how it's color has been enhanced.
Thats a super red dragon but it does have the pink lights that make him look more red

They are really nice faders.
Im sure if they were male they would've had a nice hump.
