Two things about this article I wanted to comment on:
1. His camera chose to represent the color "green" with "yellow" while using the custom white balance. Not all camera do that, especially the higher end ones. Yes, the vendors and sellers who normally sell and know that it is doing that is a fraud. Just don't take into account that everyone who uses the custom balance setting has a camera that filters in the same manner. There could be some genuine photos out there.
2. Shooting in RAW is always the preferred method and gives you the ability give the exact representation of your coral. It is as simple as sliding the color temperature section to remove the blue haze. Now if a person messes with saturation then that is different story but not everyone that using post processing is cheating the viewer. I personally only touch the color temperature slider, exposure (if needed to), blacks slider, shadows (sometimes), and sharpening slider. If in a rare case I have to touch the saturation, it is only to bring in the colors more to what I see in front of me but it is never more than +10. Anything beyond that to me is not being honest.
Nice write up though.
