Gottcha. Right now I'm charging my battery on the camera. I've taken so many pix over the past several days, in additional to those in the past month, that the poor thing is wearing down. I may even look for my wife's good camera and see what the difference is between the two (other than several hundred dollars!). if she has DSLR, it will be a huge difference from point and shoot.

White balance Daylight bulbs. All other light sources off. Light diffuser between camera and stone, very close to camera. Vellum paper from art supply store is stiff and works well. I clip it to a wood frame. Don't use Auto. Use P and then Zoom. Crop.
In Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, use Levels and the white eye dropper to whiten background.
Good luck! It's fun when you get the hang of it---- and worth the effort.

give off the pink shade. I'd very much like to be able to display the high degree of shine that the slab has without showing the light bulb reflection at the same time. Any suggestions on the correct type of light bulb I should use? ______________________________________________ Fut 14 Coins

In the fewest possible words, a grey card helps your camera decide how to deal with whites and blacks and all shades in between. If you focus on predominantly white the camera tends to make it grey because it assumes that the world is not "white" on average. If you focus on black the camera tends to make it lighter figuring that all the world is not black. A grey card helps you hit the middle of the exposure possibilities. I hope this helps. Tom
