    Are these true color pictures?

      Not quite, looks slightly enhanced, but they’re still cool looking. There’s different kinds apparently.

        I could’ve sworn the first pic was AI… there’s just something off about it. I think it was the post processing/color tweaking that was throwing me off. Your photos don’t have that same weirdness.

        What a cool animal!

          It’s the brightness & saturation levels, I think. :)

      I’ve been seeing a lot of these “color retouched” images being shared around- it’s deliberately misleading and we need to call them out as such.

        I’ve seen it a lot in astrophotography, but there they have a reason to remap the colors.

          Good point, problematic in some areas but useful in others
