Painting and Digging - a calm discussion

[WinkHPD]

In light of the somewhat heated discussion that just took place about a slightly painted stone I think it appropriate to post the address where two excellent videos can be seen about this topic by our much beloved and very missed John Pollard. (The artist formally known as John Quixote.)

Go towards the bottom of the page, and there you will find Brillianteering one and two from the cluein software that was so graciously provided for us by Leonid and Irina.

Here those of you who are fearing painting can easily see and understand that used properly, painting can actually benefit the visual appearance of the diamond.

It was stated in the recently concluded thread that it was not visible until around x degrees ( I forget the degree and do not wish to go look it up.) I think the correct statement might have been that there were no visible detrimental affects until x degrees.

There is a wealth of great stuff on this page, and hours and hours of watching if you need something more interesting than the strike delayed tv to watch.

Yes, Wink, this is correct. In my earlier post in the thread you referred to, I omitted the word "negative"....it should have read ''no negative visual impact." That''s what I get for typing in a flurry! LOL

Once I realized it, it was too late to edit.

Thanks for clarifying.

It is not an easy thing Wink, and probably that means calmness is impossible

But lets try.

Here are some examples of various amounts of painitng and a tiny bit of digging.
Crown across the top and pavilion down the sides.
I took the top and side rows and placed them on the other side as well for comparison - so beware.

Not going to work - I am not good enough at photoshop.

I miss labeled the verticle axis - painting - making the lower girdle facets shallower - is to the top, digging is with the larger #''s.
too many phone calls and other stuff.

11.25 degrees is neutral for both crown and pavilion.
