Posts: 5,747 Up and Scanning Again! Thanks to a generous offer from another CT member I'm scanning coins again. Right now I am using VERY limited software and have done but a few scans. I'm pleased so far and know it will only get better. Here's a nice representation of the reverse of an 1865 Two Cent Piece. Color and detail is basically spot on and all I did was crop the picture. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...72/new5001.jpg Next I need to work on silver and copper with better luster but that will come about. Just nice to have a functioning scanner back. Practice will get me better pics. clembo __________________ A closed mind is no mind at all...   07-04-2009, 02:22 AM   #2 (permalink) BadThad Lincoln Cent Crazed     Join Date: Feb 2009 Posts: 1,083 Not bad for a scanner. I wish you luck with getting luster to show properly on a scanner, I think you'll need it. __________________ Lincoln Lover! http://verdigone.com   07-04-2009, 09:29 AM   #3 (permalink) kanga 50 Years and Still At It     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 2,588 My Mood: Well done. And continue using the black background. That will pretty well make sure that the image you collect will be close to true and not get washed out. Shiny and proof coins can be a real problem to image, particularly with a scanner. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   07-04-2009, 12:20 PM   #4 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,503 Quote: Originally Posted by BadThad Not bad for a scanner.

Luck is not needed at all - just a little basic knowledge of scanners __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
