akroorka Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I appreciate your try at a black backgound--it just does not work. The first one may be a Pelt. The second two are more than likely Pelt Rainbos. The last one???? The black try at backgound does it no justice--maybe an Imperial. Marble--On!!

Damn, haha I thought the black was helping. Putting in extra effort for nothing I'll go back to using my old background thanks for the heads up. I'll remove the background and repost.

chicagocyclist Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Gosh, I thought the black background was really helpful! Way better than that busy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browncat73 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 @akroorka@chicagocyclist Alright I changed up the coloring on a few different ones. Let me know if it improves it or not! Thanks for the feedback. Also any guesses on Mfg for these would be appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I like the two darker gray. They allow the marble to pop nicely. It also looks like you're cutting out the marble image with a mask cutter. I've done that and yes, it takes a lot of time. It also makes the marble look weird sometimes.

Have you reviewed a few of the excellent Stephen Bahr videos on YouTube and he uses black backgrounds for all of the marbles. Upon reviewing all of the options above I've decided that I like the best is black, if one is going to go through the effort of changing it. Then there's only the marble to look at and no interaction between colors, as can sometime occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im using the remove background feature in adobe which is ok def not the best, I just don't know any other options. Can you recommend any? Thanks!

Just some natural lighting with no masking is much better--just crop them in a square--much better and easier. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Agree, just crop them with a square. Below, I used the gray background. natural light and a front flash. Photo Collage, a phone app, to easily make group of 4. if I were set up for black it would be even better. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Peltier Golden Dragon Akro Agate error or Lazy corkscrew Alley Agate maybe Vacor Alley Agate Hard to tell for sure unless the marble is in hand. But these are my thoughts from the pics you’ve shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Golden Dragons have about 4-5 red ribbons in really cool swirl patterns. The color combo is close on yours but 2 ribbons make it a Rainbo 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
