I made two additions to my little shop over at Etsy.  I listed two of my stitch marker sets.  I Orange Crush truehave a couple of other sets but am having some difficulty with my photography.  My camera and I don’t get along all the time.  I am using a preset option, the lighting source is identical each time, and the setting/background is the same each time, yet the photos don’t come out the same.  My biggest concern is getting the background to photograph a similar shade of blue.  I may be just a bit of a perfectionist. 

When I fiddle with the tint or contrast owlsettings to get a true color representation of the product, I end up with different background blues.  I would appreciate any hints or suggestions anyone can offer.  I know one fix would be to go for a transparent (white) background generated on the computer.  But I find that so unappealing and drab.   I also don’t have Photoshop and extensive knowledge in photo editing.  I am currently using GIMP 2 a free application similar to Photoshop.  It has been at least six years since I used Photoshop with moderate degree of competency.  However, Gimp seems to be very comparable.
