Round cut with good HCA but bad Idealscope/ASET image

[kdn2684]

Can someone please direct me where there was discussion about a good HCA score with bad idealscope and ASET images? i know i've seen one discussion here on PS but i can't seem to find it anymore. I just wanted to prove to a friend that even with good numbers, you can't tell how well a diamond performs until you see the images. Thanks

HCA is just one tool - takes 4 averaged, rounded inputs and doesn't consider lgf, symmetry..

I'm only remembering Owies' thread [URL='https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/question-on-gia-exexex.160454/?hilit=gia%20ex']https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/question-on-gia-exexex.160454/?hilit=gia%20ex[/URL] hopefully someone else will know exactly what you're looking for!

If the HCA is good but the IS pics are bad keep shopping.
Let someone less-informed buy that one.
