pd2care Can someone show me where I can find pics of eggs vs alternates? One of my blacks had an alternate, and I gave it away, not knowing. Now, I want to breed again, but I don't want to give the wrong egg away, if I get one. I didn't see a difference, but I didn't know what to look like.
The differences can be very subtle, especially with the blacks. And since you and I have older comps, the resolution isn't all that great for us.
Here's a couple of suggestions. First, I found this color chart on the Cave forum which may help you to compare the color differences.
If you look at the blacks, the alt black's left upper half is darker. On the alt vine/green, the shadow on the right lower half is darker.
Second, what I do when I suspect I've got an alternate (either black or vine/green) is to get a screen shot of it and put then enlarge it on my Paint program. Then I grab another egg or two and do the same thing to compare them. This has been the most reliable way I've found to determine the color difference.
Hope those help! biggrin |

A way I found helpful to be aboslutly sure is to copy that image into paint and then copy the egg you think might be into paint
then zoom in and see which the eggs resembles if it's still hard to tell in close up use the pick color dropper tool to right-click select the main color of the egg then select white or another obviously different color for your left button.
then select the eraser key and while holding the right button run the eraser over the image and it will only erase the exact color you have selected
btw I have new eggs
I will be giving the second autumn to a friend just so you know |

I didn't know Paint could do that. I'll make sure I keep track of this post too. |
